Chenin Blanc

Serve with roast duck confit and orange sauce. Also delicious with crayfish, langoustines, sushi and line fish carpaccio or gnocchi with green peas and almonds. The wine will also complement a citrus tart or nutty nougat.

100% Chenin Blanc. From a dryland vineyard planted in 1974 (46 years old) which is certified as a Heritage Vineyard.

33% of the wine was aged in 2nd fill 500L French oak barrels for 14 months.

Harvested by hand at 22,5 B° in the early morning to obtain the best quality fruit possible. The grapes were whole- bunch pressed, settled and fermented in a combination of 500L barrels (natural ferment), with the balance in stainless steel tanks.

The heritage wines, all handcrafted from old character plantings on our farm in Wellington, celebrate a unique combination of the decomposed granite terroir, the exceptional light and the timeless mastery of the winemaker, and offer an enduring expression of the classic Cape wine tradition so globally envied of this region for centuries.
