Grapes from 3 sites. 50% Voor Paardeberg, 43% Stellenbosch, 7% Elgin, South Africa

Chenin Grapes were selected from two distinct vineyards, namely 50% from Voor Paardeberg on a mixture of shales and sandstone soils and 43% on light and granitic domes on sandstone remnants in the Bottelary Hills. 7% includes a touch of Semillon from 20-year-old Elgin vineyards on Sandstone soils. Voor Paardeberg Wine of Origin Ward has vines growing on south and south-east facing slopes to enhance more even budburst and resultant ripening. The vines in Stellenbosch are from old bush vines with low to moderate yields as they are old vines (Planted in 1947).
