David & Nadia Plat’bos Chenin Blanc 2025
R1,260.00
This wine makes me want to enjoy a long, lazy lunch with friends. With yields as low as 2,3Tons/Ha, this wine is all about texture and mouthfeel.
The nose has that classic Paardeberg granite feel to it. Subtle white pear with fynbos floral aromatics at the end. You can smell these ancient granitic soils and the energy that it brings to these old vineyards. The palate has a beautiful minerality. The wine is tight and dense and takes a while to open up – ust how we like our chenins to be when they are young.
The grapes used are from old bushvines planted in 1966 located in the Paardeberg(Lammershoek) on decomposed granitic soils and dry-farmed. The grapes were destemmed and left to start fermentation naturally in one 500L old french barrel and the rest in an italian concrete tank. The wine was aged for 10 months on its primary lees without batonage.
ANALYSIS: pH 3.16 | RS 1.3 g/L | ALC 11.5% | TA 6.61 g/L

Description
David & Nadia is a family owned Swartland driven project and we focus on a spectrum of organic, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types throughout the Swartland, farmed by like-minded people. We are members of the Swartland Independent Producers.
In the vineyard we aim for biological farming and in the cellar we work as natural as possible. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. We believe in a pure, fresh and natural style where site and soil are at work with minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.
