Ageing potential
This wine will develop in bottle over the coming 3-4 years, gaining complexity as it develops in bottle.
The Vineyard
These Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested from two blocks of 30 plus-year-old vines in Agter Paarl. The vines are growing in composite soils of granite and decomposed shale.
Winemaking
The fruit was harvested at 23 to 24 balling, whole bunch pressed and settled before being fermented in barrel with natural wild yeast. The barrels used are large new, 2nd fill and older French oak barrels. Fermentation was very slow.
