The Vineyards are 38 and 42 years old respectively. These very deep decomposed Granite soils tend to produce wines with great acidity and a flinty, stony aromatic profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe Granite Chenin tends to exhibit a fantastic natural acidity that balances out the texture and mid-palate that all Swartland white wines possess. The nose is flinty with some stone fruit and citrus aromatics. Best served at about 12 °C, this wine will show optimally if decanted when drunk within the first 3 years after bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\"Even better than last year’s maiden release, this comes from two sites in the Swartland and is fermented in larger, neutral oak. It’s a deliciously poised expression of Chenin with steely acidity, stony minerality and flavours of quince, apple and baking spices. Brilliant winemaking.
