Skin-fermented Chenin Blanc with no added SO2. Aromas and flavours of ripe apples and a chalky/apple core note. Dry, light-bodied, and refreshing with a touch of tannin.
Vineyard: Single, dry-farmed bushvine vineyard (planted 1987) in Malmesbury Shale soils on Klipdam Farm, Paarl (bordering Stellenbosch).
Winemaking: Hand-harvested, whole bunch fermented in clay amphora and open-top tank. Pressed after 12 days. Matured in amphora and barrique for 6 months. No additions.
Limited Production: 2200 bottles.
Myburgh Bros. – traditional winemaking, pure expression.
