A zesty refreshing wine with great balance. Guava, pineapple, quince and apple aromas complement the lively, fresh yet complex palate that finishes with a lingering sensation of tropical fruit and wild honey.
100% Chenin Blanc
Bush vines planted between 1975 and 1988 provided a yield of around 7.1 tons of grapes per hectare. The soil is predominantly weathered Table Mountain sandstone and broken shale. There is a combination of dry land vineyard and vines, which are irrigated by means of drippers and overhead sprinklers.

Hand
To avoid any undesirable phenolic elements, the grapes were given a very soft pressing (0.5 bars for the technophiles!) and the juice left in tank to settle overnight. It was inoculated with Vin 13 yeast and cold fermented to ensure that as many aromatic qualities as possible were retained. The wine then spent a few months in stainless steel tanks - on its lees - before being cold stabilized, filtered and finally bottled.
