Vinoteka's note
Chenin Blanc from 30–40-year-old dry-grown bush vines on the Helderberg, close to the ocean, fermented with wild yeasts in steel, concrete eggs and old barrels. Citrus, white flowers and a hint of honey; ripe and full, with concentrated stone fruit, dried apricot and mango, and a clean, fresh finish. Serve at 12–14 °C with seafood, pasta, salads or chicken.
