R410.00
Chenin blanc planted in 1956 on the border of Paarl and Stellenbosch along the N1. Dry farmed bush vines on a gentle South facing decomposed granite slope.
Only perfect bunches were picked and processed. Granitic soils allow for a natural freshness and grip in the wines with characteristic pineapple pastille, apple, oatmeal and fynbos flavours. The vintage shows the typical saline core and purity we have come to expect from this 69 year old girl. Never Been Asked to Dance drinks well young but will reward for many years to come.

VINIFICATION
The old planting material is prone to very tight bunches, intense vineyard sorting is required when picking. Grapes are cooled overnight and whole bunch pressed in an oxidative manner. Natural fermentation and malolactic fermentation takes place in older 600L Stockinger barrels where the wine ages for a further 10 months before bottling.
