This Chenin Blanc is meticulously grown in the cool Elgin Valley, with a small portion sourced from old bush vines in Stellenbosch. The wine is fermented in hand-crafted clay amphorae and neutral oak, creating a beautifully layered profile with fresh yellow stone fruit, delicate white floral notes, and flinty, wet-stone tension that lends balance and structure. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from the Kogelberg Biosphere and Stellenbosch, the vineyards provide a cool climate and diverse soils that enhance aromatic complexity and freshness. Winemaking After careful sorting, the grapes are partially crushed and fermented in clay amphorae and neutral oak. Partial malolactic fermentation in oak preserves the flinty, fresh character, while the amphora component retains vibrant acidity. The two components are blended after 11 months of maturation before bottling. Tasting Notes Bright yellow stone fruit aromas with floral accents and a flinty, mineral-driven palate. Elegant, balanced, and layered, with a fresh, harmonious finish. Food Pairing Pairs well with seafood, grilled chicken, light salads, and creamy vegetable dishes.
