MORE INFORMATION:
The vines are planted in a vertical shoot positioning (VSP) trellis system. Leaves are removed during the ripening stages to prevent the fruit rotting. Sun kissed bunches add complexity to the wine. Vines are planted on a combination of Malmesbury shale and deeper clay soils with good water holding capacity which ensures even growth during dry periods.
Our well-rounded Chenin blanc is distinctive in purity, balance, and cool climate varietal expression. Intense tropical fruit aromas with nuances of white pear. The palate has beautiful weightless intensity which emphasizes the fruit concentration.
