The nose is rich, layered and fruity with its aromas of green apple, marmalade and gentle whiffs of lemon curd, acacia, tarragon and honeysuckle. Yellow apple, ripe pear and poached quince show on the palate with nuances of marzipan and lime. The mid-palate is fruity, round, vibrant and balanced, with integrated acidity. The wine finishes clean and fresh with hints of apple blossom, chamomile and ginger. 12.63% ABV.
2021 was a slightly more abundant harvest and with more bunches than usual, but with smaller berries, giving a concentrated juice and intense aromas and flavours. Chenin is grown on decomposed granite soils, which give it freshness and a fruity character, reflecting the character of beautiful quince, bruised apple and pear juice - typical of Swartland Chenin.
