    Product description

    Hand-harvested from old vines with low yields of just 2–3 tonnes per hectare, ensuring concentrated fruit and expressive character. Fermented in old 300-litre barrels using a combination of ambient and selected commercial yeasts. The wine spends nine months on fine lees, with partial malolactic fermentation (20%) to enhance texture and complexity. A refined Chenin Blanc with tropical aromas of papaya and melon. The palate is fresh, balanced, and elegantly textured, offering a nuanced and sophisticated wine experience.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Roodekrantz

    Roodekrantz Wines is a small boutique label that crafts fine artisanal wines from selected blocks of old dry land vines with exceptional terroir. South Africa’s ‘Old Vine Project’, which aims to keep rare old-vine fruit away from large commercial blends, saw the Burger and Morkel families release the first Roodekrantz wines in 2015. Committed to preserving these ancient Certified Old Vine Heritage Vineyards, they work closely with their growers, encouraging respectful and sustainable vineyard practices. They source old parcels from Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Swartland, primarily focusing on producing Chenin Blanc. Their wines are made with minimal intervention in the cellar to allow expression of the character of the vineyards. No new oak ensures that the quality of the fruit and terroir shine through in every bottle. Read more
