Van Wyk Family Wines
Van Wyk Family Wines was founded in 2016 by Justin van Wyk.
The Winery stands for small production quantities, careful craftsmanship, and the close connection
to the cool climate of Stellenbosch and Elgin. Here, elegant, terroir-driven wines are created,
combining depth, freshness, and precision. The philosophy: authenticity and finesse in every bottle.
Tasting notes
The Olivia Grace shows on the nose fresh notes of peach, apricot, and white blossoms. On the palate, it is elegant and complex, with juicy stone fruit, a hint of citrus, and fine spice. The subtle oak aging gives it structure and creaminess, while a lively acidity provides freshness and balance.
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.
