Prominent bursts of apricot and lemon are accompanied by spicy notes of ginger and nutmeg. The nose culminates in whiffs of buttery toast and macadamia nut. A rich style of Chenin Blanc with a lively acidity ending in a creamy finish.
70% of the wine was fermented and matured in a combination of French and Hungarian 500L oak barrels (50% new, 50% Second Fill) for a period of nine months, while the balance was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The wines are kept on the lees up to the stage of blending before bottling. Grapes for the Chenin Blanc is sourced from more than one vineyard in the Bottelary Hills, which are extremely diverse in terms of terroir, to create complexity. A wide variety of different slopes, aspects, elevation above sea level, soils, and the influence of both the False Bay to the south, and the cold Atlantic in the west, make for a very intricate array of microclimates. The Bottelary area forms part of granitic hills and the reddish- and yellowish- brown soils are highly suited to the production of quality wine grapes. The soils are acidic, have great water retention capabilities and are well drained. Soil types include Oakleaf, Tukulu, Hutton and Clovelly.
