Description
Product Details

The 2017 vintage can be characterized by dry weather conditions. This contributed to a small yield but the grapes were healthy overall and the analyses were good despite past neglect of these vineyards. The vineyards are exposed to strong winds that reduce yields and offer much-needed cooling in Paarl’s warm climate. This maiden vintage is made from 3 blocks of Chenin Blanc on the estate that produced 1 ton/hectare.

There was a slow ripening process which was caused by the cold nights but the harvest went smoothly with minimal interruptions caused by rain or heatwaves and the grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness.
