Pella Kanniedood Chenin Blanc

Cheese, Crab, Rich Fish, Lamb, Sushi, Thai, Roast Vegetables, White Meat.

Hand harvested, sorted and de-stemmed. Old hardy bush vines, surviving decades of formidable conditions, resulting in highly complex fruit; hence the name ‘Kanniedood’, meaning ‘cant die/diehard’ in Afrikaans. Yielding only 2.5 tons per hectare.

After fermentation the wine remains in barrels for a further 12 months for natural stabilization. Bâtonnage is carried out on a scheduled basis, to add complexity and a ‘buttery’ mouth feel.

Fruit undergoes fermentation in French and Hungarian oak.
