ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Produced in the Wild Garden that is the Cape Coast of South Africa, the duo of wines in the small but perfectly formed Wild Garden range, showcases the classic South African grape varieties. The Pinotage is South Africa’s signature grape variety with an easy drinking fruity style, while the Chenin Blanc with its fresh fruity flavours is very quaffable indeed.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the Swartland and Pederberg in the Cape Coast region. This hot, dry climate has an average temperature range of 25°C to 35°C and an annual rainfall of 450mm and 600mm, but the altitude of these vineyards creates a cool oasis in this arid landscape. The Atlantic Ocean lies around 20 miles to the west and this has a significant cooling and moderating effect on the climate. The rolling hills average around 140 metres above sea level, however, the superior influence on the wine is from the various soil formations, namely shale, schist, granite and iron stone. These ancient soils vary greatly in the percentage of clay, mineral content and organic matter. This Chenin Blanc is from a combination of these soils, which adds layers of fruit and complexity. Exposure to spring and summer winds create a healthy environment with little intervention needed to keep the vines healthy.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were fermented with selected yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the bright and aromatic characteristics of the Chenin Blanc variety, through to dryness. Malolactic conversion did not take place, resulting in a crisp style of wine.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
Fresh and aromatic, this easy-drinking Chenin Blanc shows gentle aromas of tangy green apples and is beautifully balanced with a crisp acidity and a deliciously fruity finish.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Chenin Blanc 100%.
