in the vineyard : The vineyards (from which we harvest our Chenin Blanc) are situated on level ground in Franschhoek. The Chenin Blanc vines are bush vines – their grapes hang close to the soil and therefore ripen faster which results in a more intense flavour.

about the harvest: Handpicked at 23 - 25ºB.

in the cellar : The Chenin Blanc vineyard blocks are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks (with a selected yeast strain) at a constant temperature. The fermentation process can last up to 2 weeks.

Following fermentation some of the Chenin Blanc is allowed to settle and spends a month on the yeast lees. The remaining Chenin Blanc is racked off its yeast lees (directly after fermentation) and its sulphur levels are adjusted.

Because the goal is to produce a wine that is fruit forward and zesty the Chenin Blanc undergoes no maturation.
