A subtle Chenin Blanc from two mature vineyard sites that is fermented inside a concrete egg. The nose shows promise, with suggestions of quince, pear and butterscotch; opening up to display a rich, toasty, mushroomy character. Rich and weighty, it is leavened and knit-together with bright acidity. Excellent persistence of flavour on the long finish. Excellent now, this will also reward cellaring.

Winemaking
From the hillside Devon Crest vineyard and old Swartland sites, this is hand-harvested Chenin Blanc with a dash of Hanepoot. Fruit was cooled to 5°C, whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented in concrete eggs and oak barrels. Lees contact for six months adds mid-palate texture and richness.
