Kruger Family Old Vnes Chenin Blanc 2019

Granite, dusty minerality, quince, citrus, pineapple and herbs come together on a complex nose, with these flavors following through on the palate. The palate is fresh, delicate, yet powerful and rich at the same time, in typical Old Vine Chenin Blanc style.

Our newly bottled and recent released Old Vines Chenin Blanc is an effort to bring tribute to one of the workhorse grapes of the South African wine industry.

in the vineyard : Partnering with Potgieter Van Zyl from Bergendal in the high Piekenierskloof Mountain of Citrusdal, we put much effort into this vineyard and winemaking to produce a very individually styled wine. The grapes are grown on 700 meters above sea level on decomposed granite soils and were picked beginning February from a mature 57 year old vineyard.

in the cellar : In the winery we did whole bunch press to concrete egg, natural fermentation which started slowly and completed in 14 day gave this wine a very complex, layered flavor profile,. The wine spent 8 months in concrete egg before preparing ( with minimum intervention ) for bottling. The result is an honest wine and true to Old Vines Chenin Blanc from Piekenierskloof – reflecting where it comes from.
