The wine is truly given complete tranquility, from the first bunches to the bottle. The vineyards for this white Chenin Blanc are located in the Coastal Region, where they are given ample time to mature. Because the vineyard is situated at an altitude of three hundred meters, the Chenin Blanc grapes receive sufficient freshness and coolness. This allows them to ripen very slowly, giving this wine its "Slow" character. When the grapes are ripe, the harvest begins early in the morning to prevent damage to the bunches and oxidation. It is entirely hand-picked, and each bunch is inspected by hand.
It's a joy to drink, bursting with freshness and beautiful minerals, complemented by a rich citrus fruit. In the glass, it gleams brightly with a green shimmer. It bursts from the glass, bringing to mind notes of green apple, lime zest, and grapefruit. Later, as we swirl the glass, we also smell green herbs and a touch of white pepper. The body is pure indulgence, and the palate is pampered by vibrant citrus notes. On the palate, some apple and pear, accompanied by light green herbs. A beautifully fresh, long finish completes this False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc.
