Organic Chenin Blanc

Pairs nicely with light seafood dishes, salads with citrus dressings, roasted chicken, or vegetarian dishes. Also complements goat’s cheese or mild cheeses that allow the fruit and acidity to show.

The Chenin blanc grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in Stellenbosch, no further than 40 km inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The vines are planted in sandy and decomposed granitic soils, which contribute to the wine’s flavour profile.

No oak ageing noted; matured on lees for three months in stainless steel before blending and bottling.

The grapes are bunch sorted and destemmed. Fermentation is natural (using native yeasts) in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine undergoes three months of ageing on the lees before final blending and bottling.

Biodynamic Winemaking. The future lies right at the beginning. There's a lot to be said for the way wine used to be made. Back when the Reyneke farm first began as ‘Uitzicht’ in1863 there were no chemicals or technological advancements. Just the land and nature. Uitzicht (which is the Dutch for ‘View’) is perched overlooking Stellenbosch and False Bay. It has north east and south facing slopes. The best land is planted with vines and the remainder complements the vineyards with pasture compost-making and pockets of wilderness. It’s the kind of balance that’s far more important than ensuring the spreadsheets all balance out. And it’s the true time-honoured tradition of winemaking.
