Tasting Notes Planted over 20 years ago, dry farmed on a hilltop of decomposed granite and shale, handpicked, hand sorted and fermented from naturally occurring yeasts - there is no better grape to express the beauty of Cape Town than Chenin like this. A wine that is fresh, decisive, and substantiated with lees notes and mineral finish. Like a large slice of melon dipped in orange juice on a hot summer’s day.
