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
Intense and distinctive floral characteristics, vanilla and classic Chenin stone fruit are aromas that rise in pretty cadent notes. The wine is lemon in colour with a soft mouthfeel, slightly mineral, dry and crisp. An elegant expression of wooded Chenin Blanc that shows restraint and finesse.
Food Pairing
High in acid, the wine asks for pork belly cooked over apples with toasted almonds, oven roasted chicken or pecan nut and orange pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
