This 55 year old vineyard produced an intensely aromatic, and richly textured wine. The aroma profile is layered with citrus blossom, classic stone fruit and hints of lemon zest. The palate is complex and richly textured with a focussed acidity, exceptional balance and a luxurious, lingering finish.
Crafted from an OLD VINE PROJECT certified, heritage vineyard planted in 1969 on the foothills of the majestic Kasteelberg Mountain, Kasteelberg Chenin Blanc embodies minimal intervention craftsmanship that transforms the harsh Swartland terroir into the pinnacle of our winemakers’ art. The vineyard is organically certified and farmed following biodynamic principles.
Hand harvested, Chenin Blanc is whole bunch pressed, settled overnight and then racked into old 500L French oak barrels. To showcase a true sense of place, the juice is wild fermented in barrel and then matured on the fine lees for 6 months before being racked off and bottled.
4 barrels of 500 litres each produced, so just 2,660 bottles.
