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. This wine was fermented in 40% new, 40% 2nd fill and 20% 3rd fill 300 litre French oak barrels. This wine was 80% naturally fermented. A maturation period of 12 months was needed before this wine could be racked and blended.

Tasting notes: Golden hued colour. Attractive complex nose with aromas of ripe melon and grapefruit, with a honey undertone.

Golden hued and full bodied. This beautifully made wine has an attractive nose with combinations of tropical and yellow fruit aromas with nuances of cashew nuts. These flavours are supported on the palate by a delicate use of oak that allows the true cultivar characteristics to shine. It has a long lingering finish that exits the palate screaming for more.
