Sheltered slopes, varied soils and cooling afternoon breezes create favourable growing conditions, allowing grapes to ripen fully while preserving freshness and structure. This balance is particularly valuable for Chenin Blanc, helping the variety deliver both fruit generosity and natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"949\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003eThe estate has built a reputation for polished, approachable wines that combine classic Cape fruit expression with thoughtful cellar work. For Clos Malverne Chenin Blanc 2024, the fruit was destemmed, crushed and pressed before cool fermentation, with a portion fermented in oak barrels. The wine was then matured on fine lees for three months, adding texture and complexity while retaining freshness. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1445\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eBright pale gold with youthful green flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1445\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eQuince and ripe pear lead the aromatics, followed by lemon curd, baked apple and a gentle hint of vanilla spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1916\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1681\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003eMedium-bodied with a rounded texture and generous orchard-fruit core.
