"A true South African take on the Loire staple variety. The rich stone fruit of Chenin Blanc is combined with French and Hungarian oak, for a pronounced, yet elegant wine. Perfect for Chardonnay drinkers looking for something new."- Wine House
"Grapes are harvested between 22 and 24 balling and the juice is allowed to settle without enzymes over several days. The juice is then drawn off into a special selection of barrels and allowed to ferment naturally. Fermentation took just under 8 months to finish and the wine was kept on the fermentation lees for an additional 1 month. Vineyards: 55-year-old bush vines from Bottelary property planted in ironstone Time spent on lees in barrel: 9 months in oak: 90% French and 10% Hungarian oak.
Grapes for this wine are harvested from a single vineyard planted in 1964 of Chenin blanc on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills, hence the number on the front of the bottle refers to the age of the vines in the year the wine was made." - Winery
