Description
100% Chenin Blanc
One parcel of 42-year-old Chenin planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Kasteelberg, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg. The grapes were chilled in a cold room then pressed whole-bunch, which allowed the juice to settle overnight. The juice was then racked to tank and older French oak barrels for fermentation with indigenous yeasts and this process lasted approximately six weeks. The barrels were then racked, blended with the tank fermented portion and bottled.
This wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character and finishes with a fresh minerality. 13% ABV
