Vrede en Lust Kogelberg Chenin Blanc 2012

A full-bodied wine with the typical fruit character of Chenin – orange peel and citrus. The palate is rich with hints of honey and ripe fruit – this wine will be the perfect food partner.

Previously part of the Artisan range, this wine’s quality and popularity has been such a constant that it was moved to the Vrede en Lust premium range on a permanent basis.

in the vineyard : This Chenin Blanc is from our registered single vineyard in Elgin – The Kogelberg block. This is the first block of vineyard on your left as entering the Casey’s Ridge property.

2011 was our first bottling of a single varietal Chenin and we were thrilled by it winning a Gold Michelangelo just prior to its release. The 2012 followed in its footsteps and proving to be a very popular wine.

Currently the only single varietal Chenin produced from WO Elgin grapes.

in the cellar : The wines were fermented in 225 and 500 litre French oak barrels using 2nd and 3rd fill barrels. The wine was left on lees for 10 months prior to bottling.
