AWARDS

2023 Decanter Award - Bronze

ageing : Optimally intended for enjoyment in the vibrant freshness of youth, yet may be cellared for up to four years from vintage.

Old mill houses were once a common feature on the landscape of the valley, and La Cotte is one of the only original mills that remain. This artisanal workhouse was restored in 1989 by the Franschhoek Conservation Trust in association with our Franschhoek Cellar. Our Chenin Blanc pays homage to this valued landmark.

in the vineyard : The vineyards vary in age from 3 to 30 years. The vineyards are planted on a variety of soil types for optimal performance. A combination of trellised and bush vines with a yield of between 5 and 11 tons per hectare.

in the cellar : The grapes undergo a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by four months on the lees with occasional stirring for added richness and complexity.
