The Founder's Series The Pod is an outstanding wine that reflects the essence of the terroir and the passion of the Winemaker. This exclusive drop is made from handpicked grapes that thrive in the best locations of the vineyard.

In the glass, The Pod presents itself in a deep, dark color. The nose is enveloped by complex aromas of dark berries, black cherries, and a fine spiciness, complemented by notes of vanilla and cedarwood, which arise from the Aged in oak barrels.

On the palate, the wine is powerful and well structured, with ripe tannins and an impressive length. 

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.
