The Old Vine Chenin Blanc is sourced from mature vineyards, where lower yields naturally bring greater concentration and texture to the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"726\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"1128\"\u003eStellenbosch’s mix of warm days and cooling influences allows Chenin Blanc to ripen fully while retaining freshness.

The focus is on balance - allowing the richness of old vines to show while keeping the wine fresh and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"1128\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003ePale gold with a bright, luminous edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003eRipe pear, yellow apple, and hints of peach lead, followed by honey, citrus peel, and a subtle floral note.
