Saltare Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2023

R386.00

Inspired by the Val de Loire. The bushvines look like ancient small trees, thriving for over fifty years on a dryland West-facing slope on the Paardeberg (Swartland). The low yield ensures rich flavours and the mineral-rich soils add a fresh note to the wine for a perfect balance. Natural barrel fermentation. This is a food wine like few others.

 

This wine has beautiful aromas of lime blossom, naartjie, gooseberry and fynbos (“kooigoed”). The palate offers fresh apricot, marmalade, honey, a mineral texture and a long, clean finish.

Alc 13.4% | RS 1.8 | TA 6.7 | pH 3.22

Description

“Saltare means ‘to dance’ in Latin, a name that embodies movement, grace, and simplicity. We seek to express delicate clarity and natural liveliness in Cap Classique wines of consistently high quality.

Each year we carefully select the healthiest grapes from seven different vineyards across the Western Cape and bring them to our cellar near Stellenbosch where award-winning winemaker Carla Pauw applies her art. Our vineyards tell a unique story about the hands that tend and keep them.” – Carla
