Tierhoek Chenin Blanc OVP 2019

Very elegant, has similar flavours to Tierhoek, but less sweet and really creamy. The grapes were taken from single vineyard planted in 1977. Fermented and aged in old 300 litre French oak barrels for 6 months These 43 year old Chenin Blanc vines are all rooted on weathered sandstone. They are trellised on an east-facing “skuinskap” system, so the bunches are only exposed to the late morning sun. Irrigation is only done during drought conditions, and all farming methods are organic. Yields are 3 tonne per hectare
