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. Everything seems to imply that this will reward keeping a few years to enjoy all it has to offer.

Philosophy centred around “regenerative viticulture”, to leave the land better than they found it, minimizing use of sprays, favouring the encouragement of natural predators to fend off pests, and cover crops to help invigorate the soil with natural, organic matter.
Winemaking
After careful selection and hand harvesting, the fruit was transported by means of refrigerated truck to the winery and further cooled overnight to 5°C. Whole bunch pressing, and in general, a more oxidative style of winemaking allows for unique nuances of the vineyard to manifest in your glass. Natural fermentation with wild yeasts in a combination of concrete 'egg' tanks, seasoned oak barrels and untoasted oak barrels ensure a multi-layered wine beaming with minerality and complexity. Lees contact for a period of six months after fermentation adds texture and richness on the midpalate and finish
