Tasting Notes

Subtle hints of orange blossom lend intrigue and give the wine a certain brightness. On the palate, this wine is layered with notes of lemon, quince, pear, and apple pith, which is perfectly balanced with a lively acidity. The finish is textured, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
In The Vineyard
The oldest vineyards on the Reyneke farm are two blocks of Chenin blanc from 1974 and 1976 respectively. These vineyards are registered with South Africa’s Old Vine Project (OVP).
In The Cellar
The grapes were whole bunch pressed and lightly settled. Spontaneous fermentation occurred in a combination of seasoned 300L French oak & 2500L foudrés. After 10 months of maturation on the gross lees, the wine was racked from their vessels and readied for bottling, which takes place early January. A light dose of sulphur was added at racking, prior to bottling.
