Stellenbosch 1679 Wines

This Bush Vine Chenin Blanc was made from Single Block selected grapes 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.

Legacy has many meanings but the definition of legacy applicable to this amazing journey is “something that happened or exists as a result of things that happened at an earlier time”.

Full bodied, deep red colour with dark fruits and licorice aromas. On the palate the wine shows a balanced tannin structure with flavours of blackberry and hints of herbaceous freshness.
