Winemaking

Naturally fermented in neutral oak demi-muids. Long, slow fermentation followed by lees ageing without in neutral oak barrels for textural depth without overt wood influence.

Tasting Note

Fairly moderate in sweetness at about 25 G/L RS this is a luminous, golden-hued Chenin Blanc with aromas of quince, apricot, honeycomb, and a touch of orange blossom and spice. The palate is gently sweet but vibrant, with lively acidity balancing flavours of baked pear, citrus peel, and a subtle saline finish. Textural, expressive, and perfectly poised.

Food Match

Delicious with chicken liver pâté, blue cheese, or spiced duck. Also pairs beautifully with pear tart, ginger cake.
