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.

The Kogelberg Chenin Blanc is from a registered single vineyard named the Kogelberg block from Vrede en Lust’s Elgin farm, Casey’s Ridge.

The first bottling of a single varietal Chenin Blanc was in 2011 and received a Gold Michelangelo Award just prior to its release. The 2012 vintage received the same honors as its maiden vintage and the 2013 also boasts with a silver award proving to be a popular wine on this show.

As far as could be established this wine currently is the only single varietal Chenin Blanc produced from fruit certified as wine of origin Elgin.
