Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: Chenin blanc is a variety that we always wanted to work with, but were waiting for the right vineyard to come along. Towards the end of 2015, we came across a beautiful site up on the Polkadraai Hills. This faux-bushvine vineyard had previously been farmed for sweet wine production, and the farmer was happy that a few of us were keen to make some dry wine out of it! A little bit of TLC and we had a special block on our hands. We whole-bunch pressed this wine to a tank to settle overnight. The next day we transferred it to a concrete tank, where it was left to ferment naturally. We allowed it to complete malolactic fermentation and stabilise itself, and then left it on the lees for around 4 months before its first racking. It spent a total of 9 months in concrete before bottling. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyard: Karibib
