Irina Botha is the owner of, and winemaker for, Old Vine Cellars, carefully selecting grapes from old vine vineyards growing high in the foothills of the Cape Fold mountain range. Producing only very low yields, this fruit guarantees Irina with an intensity of fruit flavours in her wines. 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."
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.
