Grape Varieties:

100% Chenin Blanc

Method and Maturation:

  • A natural sweet wine made using an ancient method of drying grapes in the sun for intensity of flavour. The winemaking process is labour-intensive and requires careful attention to detail as the drying conditions and timing can greatly influence the final flavour profile.

Wine Tasting Notes:

The colour is a beautiful rich amber.
On the nose, intense aromas of dreid fruit, honey, nuts and hay.
The palate is full bodied with a lush texture with pronounced flavoured of dried apricot, pineapple, peach, caramel, and hazelnut, leaving you with a long, satisfying finish.
