This delicious wine comes from dryland vines. The oldest parcel is 37 years of age. At one point, the vines were going to be uprooted. Luckily, we recognised their potential and resurrected the vineyard. That’s why I call it the ‘Lazarus’ vineyard - such vine maturity draws a beautiful and focused expression of terroir into the wine. It continues to reward us vintage after vintage.

COLOUR, NOSE & PALATE
Pale lemon gold at a glance, this is a gloriously fresh and pure style of Chenin Blanc. Upfront ripe, juicy peach and pear fruit aromas are balanced with notes of dried apricot and a lick of oak spice. The palate is youthful but wonderfully luscious, refreshed by mouth-watering acidity and a lingering fruit core finish that provides complexity and texture.
EAT & DRINK
Delicious with crisp, caramelised pork belly, duck breast with fynbos honey and spices, or smoked West Coast mussels. For a lighter pairing, enjoy with a flavourful vegetable Korma curry.
