Region: South Africa, Tulbagh

Grape Variety: Chenin Blanc

Winemaking Process: Grapes were night harvested and picked by hand to retain flavours. Grapes were gently crushed and pressed. Wine was cold fermented to show freshness and fruit, but kept on the lees for 11 months to give the wine a creamy mouth-feel. 25% of barrel-fermented wine was blended with the tank-fermented portion (75%) to add a wooded dimension.

Tasting Notes: Stone fruit aromas dominate the nose with hints of citrus, quinmce and pine nut. A beautiful bouquet of lime, grapefruit and Granny Smith Apples. The palate is perfectly balanced with a layered, creamy palate of orange, white peaches and tropical fruit. Excellent ageing potential and superb versatility with a wide variety of dishes complete this irresistible package. The subtle use of oak helps to uplift the fruity characters of this versatile cultivar.

Food Pairing: It pairs wondergully with seafood dishes like seared scallops or grilled white fish, as well as with poultry and pork that have creamy or fruity sauces.
