TERRE BRULEE CHENIN BLANC

Melon pith, straw, honeysuckle and orange blossom tea all dance on the nose upon first whiff of this enticing wine. The palate is medium in weight, with ripe orange and orchard-fruit flavors that linger with good intensity through to the finish, structured by ample acidity for freshness and a lightly bitter framework for textural interest. The grapes are 100% Chenin Blanc and sourced from blocks in the Swartland region which are predominantly shale and granite soils. Swartland is an area that is gaining acclaim, located about an hour north of Cape Town with pockets of vineyards spread throughout the foothills of the Piketberg, Porterville, Riebeek and Perdeberg mountains and along the banks of the Berg River.
