MORE INFORMATION:
The grapes used for this wine are harvested from 5 – 20-year-old bush vine planted high up in the Bottelary Hills. The soil types vary from red clay to sandy soils. Grapes harvested from vineyards planted to sand ripen a bit faster due to higher temperatures in the vineyards – therefore Sauvignon Blanc from cooler vineyards is blended with the Chenin Blanc to regain some fresh acidity in the wines.

The nose expresses guava, white peach, and pear drop notes. The palate shows luscious ripe tropical fruit with a hint of herbs, a lingering aftertaste of grapefruit and a zesty acidity. A great accompaniment to spicy chicken dishes or fresh Caesar salads.
