Bright red fruit aromas are overlaid with notes of pink peppercorn and delicate rose petals. On the palate it is lively and crisp, supported by juicy tannins and a refreshing finish that offers both vivacity and elegance. Vintage: The 2024 vintage was preceded by a cool, wet winter in 2023, which provided excellent soil moisture reserves at the start of the growing season. Warm, dry and windy conditions prevailed in summer, with irrigation in January proving crucial to preserve vine health. Yields were below average, but berry quality was exceptional, producing concentrated flavors with balanced acidity. Winemaking: The grapes were destemmed and left as whole berries prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Gentle extraction was achieved by pumping over twice daily, increased when required to introduce more oxygen. Dried stalks were reintroduced into the fermentation for additional aromatic complexity and a perfumed character. After fermentation the wine was pressed and aged for 8-10 months in a combination of barrels and ceramic amphorae. Viticulture: Sourced from some of the oldest bush vines in the Paarl region. These low-yielding vineyards produce only 3-4 tonnes per hectare. Although yields are modest, the result is fruit of exceptional quality with high aromatic concentration and minimal sunburn. The maturity and resilience of these vines contribute to the wine's depth, complexity, and distinctive regional character.
Grape Variety
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.
