Clean and pure, a nice concentration with appetizing acidity - old-vine Swartland Chenin made naturally and matured in the egg with some skin contact and carbonic maceration After one year in the egg, it spends six months in old oak to settle down. This produces a textured, honest Chenin unlike any other - small production below 1000 bottles

Lovely example of skin contact. Still young.

Jan 22nd, 2015After spending two months on its skin in cement, I expected an aggressively upfront wine. Instead, this is nuanced and intellectual. Smells like flesh, white flowers and dry pineapple. Slight grip but it's drinking. right. now. I like this a whole lot.

A funky and unconventional Chenin with a nose hinting at grapefruit, lemon rind and fennel. The palate is balanced with subtle flavours of ginger, honey, lemon curd and almond. An excellent food wine.

The nose screams of pear, candies ginger and mint. This wine in animali! On the palette it is all about red apple and mint with hints of lavender. Very clean but hints of oak aging. Crisp finish and lingering citrus flavors in the finish. Yum! Probably wild yeast ferm. Not for the faint of heart.
