Grapes come from Stellenbosch from 10 year old Bush vines situated in Helderberg region. Deep granite soils allow for natural low-yielding vines with good acidity.

The wine was matured in 3 different vessels, each bringing it's own character out in the wine. 1/3 in local amphora that focusses the acidity of the wine resulting in the core component of the wine. Then 1/3 in older  300L barrels for more texture and 1/3 in new French oak for midpalate weight and structure.

Tasting Notes: The wine shows notes of Melon, cassis, stone fruit and hints of oak. The wine is juicy with a sweetness coming in that gives the wine greattension and a long lasting finish. It has a lovely creamy texture and fresh acidity. If Chenin crossed with a wooded Chardonnay. Something very different! 

Food Pairing: Cape Malay Curry: The wine's slight sweetness and acidity balance the aromatic spices. Thai Green Curry: Excellent with creamy coconut-based dishes. Think any asian food with a bit of spicyness to it. Works well with salmon and grilled fish.
