WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes are sourced from old vines grown in the Swartland appellation, known for its unique terroir and Mediterranean climate. The vineyards are farmed sustainably, with a focus on preserving the natural ecosystem. The winemaking process involves whole-bunch pressing and natural fermentation in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of spice. The wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Semillon, and is characterized by its richness, texture, and long finish.
