Kloof Street, Old Vines Chenin Blanc, Swartland, South Africa

The grapes for our 2024 Chenin Blanc come from two sustainably farmed , 46+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin vineyard parcels grown in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg.

Grapes are chilled in our cold room then pressed whole bunch and the juice is allowed to settle overnight. Minimal SO 2 is added and, as with all our wines, no further additions are made. The juice is then racked to tank (85%) and older French oak barrels (15%) for fermentation. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts and lasts up to 6 weeks. The barrels are racked and blended with the tank fermented portion and then bottled.
