SPECIES
100% Chenin Blanc
HABITAT
Grapes are sourced from selected vineyards across the diverse micro-climates of the Western Cape for varied characters and components that deliver balance and complexity in the final blend. Harvested in late January by hand at a full ripeness averaging 23°B.
GESTATION
Separate lots were fermented at 13°C in stainless steel tanks until dry, then left on the lees until final blending, filtration and bottling at our cellars in Wellington.
CHARACTER
Glistening gold with a generous fruit salad of flavours and aromas including tropical mango, pineapple, passion fruit, guava, honey melon and papaya tinged with a discreet spice. Gregarious, yet still graceful with a mouth-watering fruity finish.
FOR YOUR DRINKING PLEASURE
Best enjoyed within the first year or two of vintage when the fruit is most fresh and vibrant. Serve chilled for effortless social enjoyment or with fish and chips, roast chicken or macaroni & cheese.
