South Africa, Western Cape
Chenin BlancDescription
Light, pale golden straw hue. Clear and brilliant. On the nose, subtle flavours of honeycomb and dried pineapple settle into layers of almond, white floral notes and apricot. The palate is full bodied, with an unctious, silky mouthfeel and great natural acidity and freshness typical of old vine Chen

Vinification
The grapes were whole bunch pressed with no additions. After an overnight rough settling in tank, the juice was transferred to 400 and 500L old French oak barrels, where it fermented wild and remained until blending before bottling.
