Vondeling Signal Cannon Chenin Blanc 2010

A pale, straw coloured wine with a subtle green tinge. The nose carries refreshing tropical fruit, granadilla, guava, crisp granny apples and stewed pears. The exciting mélange of tropical fruits, which include kiwi, passion fruit and papaya follows on the palate, which is well-structured with supreme balance and a long tantalizing finish.

On the highest peak of Vondeling farm, lies a piece of heritage. One of the Cape’s original Signal Cannons rests where it was once used to communicate to farmers that a ship had arrived in Cape Town’s Table Bay harbour. Farmers would then hasten to the docks to trade their wares, swop stories and receive mail. In recognition of these brave pioneer farmers, we’ve named our wine after this symbol of their era. We hope you enjoy the wine.

Enjoy this delicious wine socially at a summer barbeque or with a wide range of white meat dishes, creamy pastas, fresh fish and Mediterranean salads.
