20% of the blend is skin ferment Chenin, raised in Clayver ceramic egg, the other 80% is made up of 2 pickings of Eenzaamheid Chenin Blanc, one early to retain freshness and crisp acidity and one a little later to provide some broader brush strokes. The Eenzaamheid portion is aged in used 600l French oak for 9 months.
Immediate notes of bright citrus and pear, it's only as the wine develops on the palate that the pithier side from the skin ferment portion begins to shine through. Has an almost saline mineral character too, quite rich, yet brilliantly balanced.
