the perfect chenin blanc from stellenbosch; barrel fermented...this wine has been made here since 1695. Today this family-owned winery, situated outside Stellenbosch, in the heart of Cape Winelands, continies the tradition of producing wines of outstanding quality...2011 vintage is light yellow in colour with aroma of sweet peaches and pineapple and a big palate of tropical fruit bouquette..2009 vintage is less in aroma and palate but gorgeously well rounded and still drinks so elegantly..i have not come across any better chenin blanc like this apart from ken forrester's 2009 FMC Chenin Blanc which is a different story on its own
