Elegant rich full bodied in style, with delicate French oak influence, complementing the decomposed Granite Soil flintiness Extra ordinary complex and layered with soft lingering well-integrated wood aromas of pure mineral stone fruit like quince, fresh peach, orange blossom and flinty fresh lime. The attractive pale straw colour is a result of the everlasting healthy pH balance of the wine.
From a micro-managed small pocket of decomposed Granite Soil, this Chenin Blanc Vineyard delivers excellent fruit with an intense varietal expression. Due to our high altitude and the cool influence from the sea, contributing to the excellent fruit purity, mineral depth and everlasting complexity. The reason for this unique expression of fruit is due to our different sun exposed slopes, planted on well drained decomposed Granite Soils, which deliver fruit with a natural high acidity and natural lower pH, essential for ageing.

Description
On a unique South-westerly facing vineyard site these 23 old Chenin Blanc vineyards were planted on Granite Soils that encouraged deep root penetration. Only the best sun-ripened grapes with pip and skin ripeness are handpicked early in the morning into small crates. After picking the cold chain continued by having grapes stored for 24 hours in a chilled container at 4 Degrees Celsius.
