Strong lime, tropical, ripe pineapple aromas shows on the nose and are complimented with a long clean, crisp aftertaste. This medium full style Chenin Blanc will mature well in the bottle after bottling.

food suggestions
This wine can be enjoyed with seafood dishes like prawns and tuna. It will also compliment other dishes like pork chops, ham, chicken and Indian cuisine.
 
in the vineyard
Africa’s most southern regions nurture exceptional wines. Kleine Zalze, our family-owned winery, has made premium wine here since 1695. One of our farms is situated at Africa’s southern tip, known as The Foot of Africa, the name given to this fine wine.
 
about the harvest
The grapes were harvested between 23 - 24° Balling early in the morning and immediately cooled down to 12°C.
 
in the cellar
Extended skin contact followed. After good settling the wine was cold fermented and left on the lees for two months before filtration and bottling.
