On Reflection Chenin Blanc 2017
13.5% abv
A wine made from predominately Chenin Blanc with a blob of Semillon added for good measure. The Chenin Blanc is hand-harvested from vines planted in Paarl in 1977 and has all the hallmarks of the most abundant grape variety planted in South Africa’s oldest wine region. These dry-grown, unirrigated old bush-vines are grown on deep sandy soils over loam and granite which enables the roots to source the water table provided by Paarl mountain’s catchment of the moisture-laden ‘tablecloth’ clouds of the Cape. A high quality Chenin Blanc in its own right, we have added some zest in the form of ancient vine, limey Semillon (10%) from Franschhoek to the final blend which raised it to another level. This contemporary blend of traditional SA cultivars from two different wine growing areas, also classifies the wine as W.O. Coastal Region.
