Working closely with growers across carefully selected vineyard sites, the philosophy centres on sustainability, dryland farming where possible, and allowing each vineyard’s soil and climate to shape the final wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"439\" data-end=\"862\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eThe Earth Beneath Our Feet Blanc 2023 is produced from a blend of Chenin Blanc, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc sourced from Franschhoek and surrounding coastal vineyards. Fermentation and élevage are handled with restraint to preserve freshness, texture and varietal clarity rather than overt winemaking influence. The result is a layered white blend that combines bright fruit with savoury complexity and a subtle mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003eMedium lemon straw with bright clarity and a youthful sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1775\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003eAromatic layers of green apple, pear and citrus peel lead the nose, followed by notes of dried apricot, white peach, pineapple and subtle floral lift.
