Tea Leaf 2019

Complex sandy stone fruit nose with notes of crushed granite and hints of saline. The palate has firm, high-key fruit, a broad texture and quiet persistence that persists and persists. A wine whose genuinely unique terroir feel and character shine through

Vineyards high above the valley floor on the Piekenierskloof escarpment are home to old blocks of Chenin Blanc, Palomino and younger Grenache Blanc vines. In all the blocks the indigenous rooibos tea plant grows wild.

Grapes are harvested om the early hours and then a further selection is made by hand at the winery to select the best fruit. The wine is naturally fermented in old wooden barrels and steel, portions of which take up to 1 month to complete. The wine is gently racked and bottled in South-Africa.
