Kaapzicht Kliprug Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc from the Kliprug vineyard in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The 40 year old vines are planted on a rocky ridge dotted with iron rich stones. 

Taste Profile: Rich, deep, complex nose of bruised yellow fruits, white peach, creamy and plush, showing honeyed pineapples and leesy yellow fruits. Plenty of gravitas, fruit weight, focus and textural complexity

Winemaking Process: Grapes harvested from registered heritage vineyard planted in 1982. Handpicked crushed and destemmed (with skin-contact in press). Natural sedimentation overnight after pressing (light and gentle pressing with maximum pressure of 0.8kpa). After settling, the wine is racked to 400l and 500l barrels for spontaneous fermentation. Fermentation can last between 2–4 weeks. The wine is aged in barrel for 10 months prior to bottling and bottled.
