These classically styled, food-friendly wines with abundant fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of the grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every drop demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills. This wine is made from Chenin blanc grapes.\n\nin the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from mostly dryland, bush vine and trellised vineyards in the Darling and Swartland areas. The vines, established some 200m to 350m above sea level, grow in deep and well-drained, decomposed granite soils.\nin the cellar : \nThe grapes were crushed and gently pressed to extract excellent quality juice. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks for two weeks at 15º C. After fermentation, the wine was racked from the fermentation lees and the components from different areas blended together. The wine was then kept on the lees for three to six months before bottling. A small portion of the wine (2%) is oaked, to deliver a creamy texture on the palate.\n\n
