Quick Overview

40% wooded Spice Route Chenin Blanc is a bold, full-flavoured style, produced using grapes predominantly from unirrigated bush vines at our Swartland vineyards.


Chenin grapes for this wine are made from two different locations. The wooded portion (35%) is from a 35 year old single unirrigated vineyard from the Swartland. The unwooded portion is from our Darling vineyard next to the west coast.
Harvest Dates 16 February 2010
Winemaking The wooded portion of the grapes were harvested by hand at 25 degrees balling and fermented in French oak barrels (7% new). The balance of the grapes were hand harvested at 22 degrees balling and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After 8 months of fermentation, the wines were blended and bottled.
Winemaker's Comments The oaking is subtle making the wine approachable early on, but it will drink well up to at least 2012. Charl du Plessis
