Production Details Winter 2022 saw average rainfall and plenty of cold days keeping the vines dormant. The growing season was characterised by above average temperatures and regular rains until December. January and February was hot and dry which allowed picking in near perfect conditions with cooler mornings allowing fruit to be harvested in an ideal way. The grapes for this white blend were hand selected by our Cellar Master from a variety of locations in Franschhoek, Banhoek, Wellington and Simonsberg-Paarl. Berries were hand selected in the cool of the early morning. The assemblage of chenin blanc, Semillon, chardonnay and viognier took place towards the end of 2023. Prior to that the individual components were vinified separately using indigenous yeasts in a variety of containers including 225 and 500 litre French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. This wine delivers a naturally fresh, creamy and crisp palate. Approximately 30% of this wine was barrel matured.
Tasting Notes

Palate: creamy, complex, citrus, white blossom, minerality, salinity, smooth
Food Pairing seared tuna loin, charred fennel with truffled pomme purée, puttanesca
