About this wine
Wine Style:
Tasting Notes:
Light golden straw hue—clear, bright, with pale gold highlights.
Baked apple, lemon curd, honey, and ripe peach.
Generous layers of apricot, kumquat, and lime peel with dense, expressive fruit core.
Fresh, saline, with kelpy and briny sea spray notes. Balanced tension and richness.
Sommelier's advice:
Delicious with creamy, earthy white rind cheeses like Brie, savoury tarts, or simple, pan-fried scallops.
Vineyards:
Maturation:
Aged on lees for nine months in seasoned oak barrels, enhancing texture and complexity while allowing the fruit character to shine without excessive oak influence.
Winemaking process:
Elodie is made from old dryland Chenin Blanc vines in the Swartland. The bunches are pressed whole, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured on the lees for nine months in seasoned 400- and 500-litre barrels. South Africa has more Chenin Blanc than any other country, including France, the grape's homeland.
Vinoteka's note
Chenin Blanc from dry-farmed bush vines in the Swartland. Orchard fruit, citrus and thatch on the nose; a dense palate of apricot, wild honey and lemon rind, with an oatmeal-like roundness, a crunchy apple-skin texture and a long finish.
