Variety:
100% Chenin Blanc
Wine of Origin:
Swartland
Vineyard Details:
From the parcels of old vine Chenin Blanc that give us the best acidity at harvest. The vines are planted in the stony Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg and the decomposed Granite based soils of the Paardeberg .
Maturation:
Old (5th fill) 225L French oak barrels which were fractionally blended from the 2008 through 2019 vintages.
Tasting Note:
Bright golden straw in colour, with a rich, viscous appearance. The nose and palate is a complex, enticing dried peaches, apricots, honey and marmalade, with a savoury nuttiness. The intense mouth feel is balanced by a clean, fresh and very long finish. Best served chilled at 9 to 11 °C.
Technical Details at Bottling:
Alcohol 8.5% – RS 331 g/l – TA 11.3 g/l – pH 3.36
