Why we love this Wine
Planted in 1981, these vines were abandoned and brought back to life in 2014. What a discovery. They deliver salty juice, with lashings of flowers, herbs, ginger, spice and citrus. Spending time on skins, this chenin has a personality of its own, from one of the most exciting winemakers in South Africa, Craig Hawkins.
