- 62% Chenin Blanc, 10% Clairette Blanche, 9% Viognier, 7% Grenache Blanc, 6% Semillon Gris, 6% Verdelho
- All the vineyards are sustainably farmed and are up to 67 years old
- Old vine Chenin Blanc with Mediterranean varieties planted on the Granite, Schist and Iron based soils of the Swartland
- Low yielding old-vine Chenin Blanc brings incredible texture as the backbone of the blend and is grown on all three soil types
- Layers of lively freshness, salinity and opulent fragrance are brought by Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Semillon Gris, Verdelho and Viognier
- Carefully hand harvested to respect the low juice-to-berry ratio inherent to the old vines
- Once the cool grapes were oxidatively whole-bunch pressed, the juice was allowed to settle overnight
- Fermented with indigenous yeast, which lasted up to nine weeks and any natural malolactic fermentation was allowed to take its course with lees aging
-
Aged for 11 months in 3rd to 5th fill French oak 500L barrels and one new 2000L foudre
