The Old Vines vineyards grow high in the foothills of the Cape Fold mountain range. They produce only very low yields, guaranteeing intensity of fruit flavours in this wine. Warm peachy notes and almonds, layered with ripe pear and a pure acidity to lift on the finish.
"Top quality Chenin Blanc from noteworthy old vineyards in the premium wine growing area of Stellenbosch."

“Cedary green fruits (though it is unoaked). Some wet-wool/lanolin flavour on the palate, tastes a bit older than it is? Clearly Chenin but a little bit sour on the finish.”
South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing regions today. Post-Apartheid, the South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by investment and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality boundaries and develop new vineyards and wine styles. Yet South Africa’s wine production dates back to the 1600s.
