This wine spent time on its lees in concrete tanks and old casks, which gives incredible texture and palate weight to the wine. The aromas are flinty with honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit notes. The vintage was characterized by a long ripening period in mild conditions and has the effect of good ripe flavors and fresher acidity than in previous years.
The Chenin Blanc grapes are mostly from their farm, Kalmoesfontein situated on the northern side of the Paardeberg Mountain. Their neighbor also supplies us with some exceptional old vine fruit – making us the world’s smallest co-op. They maintain that high-quality fruit comes from old un-irrigated bush vines grown on a variety of granite soils that are naturally low-yielding. Most of their Chenin vines were planted in the late 1960s to mid-1970 and tend to yield around 4 tons/hectare.
