The 1947 Chenin Blanc is from old bush vines planted by Danie Jnr’s great grandfather in 1947; making it the second oldest Chenin block in the country.
Tasting note
From 76 year old vines, the aromatics are super complex and spicy with lovely nuances of wet straw, dusty white citrus, honeyed yellow peaches, fynbos and sweet pineapple confit. There is such focused depth, full-bodied plump texture and complexity with fabulous nuances of tangerine peel, lychee concentrate and a honeyed bonbon intensity.
