Product Description

Overview

Winery: Eikeboom Winery

Eikeboom Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2013 Made from 100% Chenin Blanc planted more than 20 years ago (in 1990). The pruning technique used is 100% bush vines (Gobelet)

This is an intense, lively, fruity and beautifully balanced dry Chenin Blanc. With a great minerality and flavors of pears, sherbet. As the wine was aged for a long time on the lees, it gaves the wine a great  mouthfeel and the resulting fruity aromas are very pure and clean. The finish is quite long with a refreshing lime and mineral length.
It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but richly textured enough to be an excellent foil for spicy chicken stews, baked garlic mushrooms and similar comfort food.

The Eikeboom Winery Estate

Jannie is the 5th generation of Louws to have farmed Eikeboom (Eikeboom means “oak tree grove”), the first being Jan Nicolaas in 1864. Known originally as de Eikenbomen, the farm has been in existence since the early 19th century, having been recorded by travellers at the time. It is beautifully situated near the small village of Hermon in the heart of the Boland, Western Cape, South Africa. The mountains, the Elandskloofberge, provide a spectacular visual backdrop.

Essentially a wheat farmer, Jannie has long had a passion for viticulture. Today he has resurrected the art of wine making as practised by his grandfather, Ou Jan ‘Ligtewyn’ whose reputation stemmed from the fact he produced a better quality vintage than normally obtained in the area at the time.

Jannie Louw is a Hobbyist winemaker. Jannie’s brother makes wine in Paarl at Baardeberg.

Production is low volume, high quality, in the garagiste style with Jannie taking meticulous care over all aspects. His range includes: Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. The Eikeboom Winery Vineyards The Farm is around 900 hectares (Sheep, wheat, Cattle, and grapes.)

30 hectares of grapes. Production about 1,000 cases in total.
