Endura Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc

This wine will pair well with most fish or poultry and is an ideal match for spicy curries. Serve slightly chilled.

The 2022 vintage is one of the longest and latest vintages in history. The growing season started very well due to a cold wet winter with sufficient soil moisture. The growing season was cool with good growth in the vineyards. We however experienced extreme heat conditions in January and February that had an impact on the harvest. Made from a Single Vineyard of Chenin Blanc on top of Paardeberg Mountain, this wine, presents a marriage of skill, unique terroir and the noble qualities of the Chenin Blanc grape. The soil is mostly decomposed granite and this gives natural acidity and freshness to the wine with excellent ageing potential. The grapes were hand-harvested at 23 °Balling in the early morning in small crates.

The wine was aged on the lees for eight months before blending the different components to create perfect harmony.

The grapes were brought to the cellar where they were de-stemmed and sorted to remove any unwanted berries. The berries were crushed and the juice was settled overnight with only clean free-run juice transferred to the fermentation vessels. This wine was naturally fermented in Ceramic Amphora, a Diamanté Wine Tanks and French oak barrels.
