Jolandie has two rules for her Chenin Blanc. One, the vineyards must be older than 35-years and two, they must be sustainable and dry-farmed.  Check and check.

In 2024, the grapes came from four sites: 70% came from three sites on the Paardeberg Mountain (Uitvlug, Lammershoek, & Langkloof Vineyards) and the remaining 30% came from the Rooidraai Vineyard in Malmesbury. The granitic components from the Paardeberg are linear and mineral-driven with more ‘white’ notes and very fresh tones. The iron-derived influences, on the other hand, impart beautiful yellow-spectrum aromatics, which adds richness and texture to the final blend.

Tasting Notes: Lemon, nectarine, honey, and a touch of resinous reduction on the nose. Spices and hay emerge with air. Dense palate, bright acidity, and a textured finish.

ANALYSIS: ALC 13.2% | RS 1.7 g/l | TA 5.4 g/l | pH 3.3
