“Crafted from original Estate vines planted in 1978. This has so much texture and interest. Sleek, skinsy, and vibrant, with just enough sweetness to balance the light grip on the finish Chenin Blanc is renowned for.”

Vineyard Notes
Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes. Harvest commenced a week later than ‘normal’ under clear blue skies and finished in mid-April.
