Crafted from grapes grown in selected vineyards across the Western Cape, this 2025 vintage captures the vibrant essence of South Africa's signature white grape, Chenin Blanc—historically known as 'Steen'. The coastal breezes and diverse soils of granite and decomposed shale provide a rich canvas for the vines. In 2025, a warm growing season tempered by cool maritime winds allowed the grapes to develop a perfect balance of crisp acidity and rich tropical fruit flavors. Fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks and aged briefly on its fine lees, this wine avoids heavy oak influence, preserving the pure, unadulterated expression of guava, green apple, and white peach.
