Vineyard
This complex wine proudly heralds our participation in South Africa’s unique Old Vine Project (OVP). The project strives to preserve vines older than 35 years and to create awareness of the heritage of these vintage vines. The remarkable vineyard that yielded the grapes for this vibrant, well-structured Chenin Blanc was planted in 1974 on the northern slopes of Paarl Mountain.
