Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc from Simonsberg in South Africa. The fruit comes from 2 vineyards, of which one old vine & one planted in 2016, on decomposed granite soils
Taste Profile: The wine opens with aromas of fresh lime blossom, honeydew melon, and green apple. The aromas are balanced by delicate mineral flavours derived from the rocky slopes of the Simonsberg mountains
Winemaking Process: The fruit is pressed and undergoes spontaneous fermentation on wild yeasts in concrete vats. It is left on fine less for 9 months to develop fullness & depth. A small portion is left on skins in a separate clay amphora, and is blended upon bottling.
From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
