Tasting Notes

This Chenin Blanc bursts with ripe peach, nectarine marmalade, quince, apricots, and hints of citrus. A lively acidity and a textured palate deliver freshness and length, finishing on the palate with notes of melon and baking spices.

Winemaker’s Comments

The 2025 vintage is one of immense potential. We had enough rain and cold conditions during the winter leading up to this vintage, setting the stage for great concentration and complexity in the resulting wine. The approachability of this wine, with a bouquet of tropical fruit, makes for a satisfying drink and should be enjoyed by the glass or with food. Maturation potential is 3 to 5 years.

Food Pairing

A moreish wine that can be enjoyed by the glass or can accompany a wide variety of tapas dishes.

Appellation:	Stellenbosch
Terroir:	Sourced from 2 separate vineyards planted on a South-West facing slope on Saxenburg. Both vineyards are on the typical coarse granitic soil synonymous with the Polkadraai Hills. The younger block was picked in three different portions, an earlier pick bringing freshness to the final wine. The last pick came from the older block, adding a deep structure and concentrated aromatics.
Vinification Details:	Grapes were destemmed and received skin contact for approximately 4 to 6 hours before gentle pressing. After pressing, both components were left on the gross sediment for 24 hours for added mouthfeel and texture development. After racking, the different components were moved to stainless-steel tanks for fermentation. Once the fermentation was completed, the lees was stirred every month prior to bottling.
