This 2023 vintage Bush Vine Chenin Blanc was made with carefully selected grapes from a 41 year old Single Vineyard Bush Vine block, from the farm Sonop, Stellenbosch. The vines, with rootstock Richter 99, were planted in 1982 by Francois du Bois.

The soil type, which is derived mainly from granite, is reddish to yellow in colour, acidic with good physical and water-retention properties; mainly Oakleaf, Tukulu and Clovelly soil types.

Secondary fermentation and aging for 319 days in 90% French oak barrels and 10% Amphora pot. This wine showcases a captivation golden colour and a welcoming aroma reminiscent of ripe citrus and honeycomb. Its velvety texture finishes with lively acidity, leaving a lingering taste of apricot intertwined with saline minerality
