Reductively fresh yet texturally layered, showing citrus oil, stone fruit and saline minerality across a tense mid-palate. Chenin Blanc leads the blend, supported by Clairette Blanche, Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Semillon Gris. Drawn from 72-year-old Swartland vineyards on granite soils, the wine is aged on the lees in large-format foudres without bâtonnage to preserve its natural texture.

The 2024 Old Vines White comes from vines up to 70 years old on granite soils in the Paardeberg. This blend is predominantly Chenin Blanc (68%) and is aged in 500-litre used barrels and 2,000-litre foudre. It has a pretty, quite waxy, honeysuckle-tinged bouquet with a hint of wet wool. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity. Taut and fresh, there is a little more pepperiness on the finish compared to previous vintages. Excellent.

Crushed apple and apricot flavors mingle with clove-studded orange peel, chrysanthemum and vanilla in this elegantly rounded Chenin. Shows pleasing richness, yet well-balanced acidity and a gentle tug of fruit-skin bitterness keep this focused and structured through the finish.
