Kasteelberg Chenin Blanc Old Vine Certified 2023

This 55 year old vineyard produced an intensely aromatic, and richly textured wine. The aroma profile is layered with citrus blossom, classic stone fruit and hints of lemon zest. The palate is complex and richly textured with a focussed acidity, exceptional balance and a luxurious, lingering finish.

Sustainably crafted from an OLD VINE PROJECT certified, heritage vineyard planted in 1969. This vineyard is organically certified and farmed following biodynamic principles.

Shale soil with clay underneath.

Hand harvested, Chenin Blanc is whole bunch pressed, settled overnight and then racked into old 500L French oak barrels. To showcase a true sense of place, the juice is wild fermented in barrel and then matured on the fine lees for 6 months before being racked off and bottled.
