On the nose, there is orange blossom, acacia flowers, honeysuckle, tangerine, apricots, peaches
and toasted almonds. On the palate, there is richly fruited and honeyed pallet with a bright, limey acidity with refreshingly long lightly phenolic finish.
Only the exposed bunches on the morning sun side of our 35 year old Chenin Blanc vineyard are selected for this wine, they turn gold in colour as a result of their exposure giving the wine a unique honeyed character. This wine is fermented with the wild/indigenous yeasts in older French oak barrels giving it an incredible complexity showing rich, honeyed fruit with a bright acidity leading into a delicious savoury finish.
The Reserve Range of wines are small batches produced from the best fruit on the property. Over the years we have identified specific rows from certain vineyards that year after year have delivered incredible concentration and complexity. We handpick, vinify and age these wines with the utmost attention to detail, resulting in exceptional wines that will last decades.
