Quest
Vineyards have been shown to possess unique fingerprints in centuries gone by. Every block of vines expresses distinctive characteristics, and the finest winemakers know that viticulture starts in the soil. In 2010 our winemaker began travelling in search of the purest fruit from first growth appellations across the wine regions of the Western Cape. Every new vintage becomes a quest to find the different components to make up the perfect blend that meets the winemaker’s requirements. The pursuit of excellence began in 2011 when Quest aspired to showcase a premium range of iconic French blends, styles and varieties grown and expressed through South African soils.
Description
Distinctive floral notes and aromas of dried peach, citrus and lime with a firm crisp acidity. Wooded in French and American oak, the wine shows elegant and delicate tannins whilst respecting the fruit. The am- phora component also brings an earthy and mineralistic layer to the wine.
Food Pairing
Pair this old vine Chenin with rich fishcakes and baby potatoes covered in sour cream and fresh chives from the garden or pork chops with crispy fat next to a wild rocket, apple and walnut salad.
