This Chenin Blanc is produced from a single hilltop vineyard, located in the Polkadraai Hills – a region well known for outstanding Chenin. Old vines, planted in boney granite soils, coupled with the harsh winds from the Cape South Easter, result in a racy expression of Chenin Blanc.

Grapes were whole bunch pressed and the cloudy juice was transferred to neutral oak barrels without the addition of sulphur, yeast, acid or enzymes. Fermentation took place in barrel, with about 50% going through Malolactic fermentation too.

Primary aromas of orchard blossoms, ripe green apple and pear are balanced with a creaminess from 50% malolactic fermentation. The primary fruit are underlined by the seashell and flint characteristics that the Polkadraai Hills appellation offers to Chenin Blanc.
