Description

Bright and expressive, this Chenin Blanc opens with notes of white peach and ripe pear, layered with hints of pineapple, fresh lemon zest, and delicate yellow flowers. The palate shows a gentle creaminess balanced by lively acidity, carrying the fruit through to a smooth, elegant, and refreshing finish.

A beautiful pairing for seared scallops with citrus butter, 'braai' chicken, grilled peaches with burrata and basil, or a shaved fennel and apple salad with toasted almonds.
Grapes originated from vineyards in Helderberg area, Stellenbosch. The blocks are trellised using Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system and are under drip irrigation.

Hand-harvested grapes were transported to the cellar and chilled overnight before processing. Whole bunch pressing into stainless steel tanks for 24hour juice- settling. Cold alcoholic fermentation commenced in stainless steel tanks using wild/ natural yeasts. Extended lees contact of 1 month with regular stirring of the lees after fermentation, ensures that the wine has a lush palate texture.
