With access to certified old-vine blocks and a restrained approach to oak, the range highlights Chenin Blanc and other South African wines shaped by vineyard character rather than heavy cellar influence.
Description
The nose is complex and layered, offering a vibrant spectrum of orange-and yellow-toned fruits: mandarin, peach, dried pineapple and orange peel, supported by subtle oak spice.The mid-palate is fleshy and oily in texture, showing generous ripe citrus flavours-mandarin and orange-alongside stone fruit and a gentle hint of butteriness. Bright acidity binds the components seamlessly, ensuring lift and precision. The oak is beautifully integrated, adding structure without intruding on the fruit purity. The finish is lingering and expressive, with notes of sour apricot and zesty orange citrus. A coherent Chenin Blanc that clearly reflects its warmer Paarl origins i.t.o. its flavour profile.
Food Pairing
Roast duck or chicken with orange glaze. Pork belly with citrus and fennel. Grilled prawns or crayfish with garlic–lemon butter. Butternut or pumpkin risotto with sage. Creamy Brie-style or mild goat’s cheese.
