There is no denying the Cape produces some seriously world-class Chenin and Sam's become sentimental about it since he was fortunate enough to watch some of SA's finest winemakers at work with this noble grape during his intern years. So, when given the chance to play with these old, gnarled Chenin bushvines on some his favourite sites, he jumped at it.

Ranging from 25 to 40 years old, the vines grow in the decomposed granite soils of Paarl. You can taste the sunshine in this warm climate and it’s been blended with a touch of barrel-fermented fruit from the cooler Helderberg, Stellenbosch to lend freshness. Part-matured in 228L neutral French Oak for depth and a stainless steel component for purity.
