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. 30% of the wine was cold fermented in tank to retain freshness and fruit, and 70% was fermented in French and Hungarian 300 litre barrels. 40% was fermented with natural yeast. The wine was then aged for 11 months, blended and then bottled.
Tasting notes: Elegance, finesse, complexity and concentration of fruit – full bodied.
This wine has intense yellow fruit aromas of peach, nectarines and orange blossoms. These aromas carry through onto a creamy palate that finishes with a lively acidity with hints of ginger and a leesy complexity. Excellent ageing potential and superb versatility with a wide variety of dishes complete this irresistible package.
