Production Details Heritage bush-vine vineyard in Joubertskloof on the Paardeberg Mountain in the Swartland, planted in 1982. The site is sheltered from the blazing afternoon sun. Grapes were delicately whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented in older French oak barrels; only the free-run juice was used. Ten percent of the wine had 4 days of skin contact. The wine matured on the lees for 10 months prior to bottling. The tech sheet states Wine of Origin Swartland and 100% Old Vine Chenin Blanc.
