The Hand Picked Viognier 2022 is an exquisite white wine that perfectly showcases the refinement of the Viognier grape.

The grapes for this wine are carefully hand-picked to ensure that only the best fruits go into production. In the glass, the wine shows a bright straw yellow. The nose is enveloped by seductive aromas of peach, apricot, and floral notes such as honeysuckle and orange blossom.

On the palate, the wine impresses with its creamy texture and a harmonious acidity that elegantly highlights the fruitiness.

Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.

In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.

The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
