Tim Hillock Wines
"My family bought a small farm on the Kasteelberg in 2009. 11 years later a cellar was built, which is currently shared between Donovan (Rall Wines), Jolandie (Wolf and Woman Wines) and myself. My passion is Syrah and Chenin Blanc although a few select vineyards are too special to pass up. I have a “hands-off” approach in the winery unless something requires attention. I don’t feel the need to justify my position as a winemaker by being hyperactive in the cellar. Ultimately the vineyard and the resulting wine must do the talking."
Description
"Tim Hillock's refined Swartland Chenin Blanc uses grapes from an old-vine parcel on schist soils. Naturally fermented in Stockinger foudres, it's a fresh, precise, medium-bodied style with fennel, lemongrass and citrus peel flavours and thrilling minerality and palate length. 2023-28" – Tim Atkin South African Report 2023
