- 100% Chenin Blanc
- Sourced from 3 sustainably farmed vineyards in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of 40 year-old Chenin planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Kasteelberg, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg
- Hand harvested
- The grapes were chilled in our cold room then pressed whole-bunch, which allowed for the juice to settle overnight
- The juice was then racked to tank and older French oak barrels for fermentation with indigenous yeasts and this process lasted approximately six weeks
- The barrels were then racked, blended with the tank fermented portion and bottled

"Lovely purity of fruit here, showing notes of nectarines, sliced apples and crushed stones on the nose. It's creamy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate. Solid chenin blanc. From old vines on granite soils in the Paardeberg and in shale/schist soils in Kasteelberg. Drink now. Screw cap."
