A blend of 67% Chenin Blanc 33% Verdelho

This our most complex blend in the line-up, comprising fruit from seven different vineyards. Chenin Blanc grapes are sourced from dryland bush vines farmed in four sites; two older vineyards from the Paardeberg, one from the Piekenierskloof and a younger vineyard from Bot River. The Verdelho is from three vineyards, one in the Voor-Paardeberg, one in Bot River and one in Riebeekberg. The soils are a combination of granite, sandstone, schist and Bokkeveld shale. The decomposed granite soils produce a rich, generous and broader palate, while the shale and schist soils bring austerity, focus and make for a texture driven wine. The sandstone adds brightness and length. Blended together with the freshness of the Verdelho to create a balanced wine; both rich and generous yet elegant and well poised, with a mineral focus and bright acidity. A true reflection of the soils of the Cape.
