Description
Produced from a single vineyard planted in Stellenbosch back in 1982; the Kliprug Chenin Blanc has a rich, deep, complex nose of bruised yellow fruits, white peach, creamy and plush, showing honeyed pineapples and leesy yellow fruits. The palate is medium bodied and fresh with plenty of gravitas, fruit weight, focus and textural complexity.
The Kliprug Chenin Blanc Vineyard is certified Old Vine and 4.18 hectares in size. This vineyard was planted as bush-vine in 1982, making it 41 years old. The vineyard was given the name ‘Kliprug’ (Rocky back) by the farm employees for its appearance, as the vineyard is dotted with rough iron-rich stones which impart perfect texture, balance and that magical old-vine x-factor in the wine.
Ageing potential: 3 – 5 years
Alcohol: 13.24% ABV
