ageing :

Ready to be enjoyed now with the potential to age further for five years.

Endura pays tribute to the enduring journey of survival a dryland vine embarks on year after year to produce its best fruit. Smaller berried, flavour-rich grapes are nature’s way of aligning the dryland vine’s energy levels with challenging external conditions and so ensuring the best possible outcome.

in the vineyard : Made from a Single Vineyard of Chenin Blanc on top of Paardeberg Mountain, this wine, presents a marriage of skill, unique terroir and the noble qualities of the Chenin Blanc grape. The soil is mostly decomposed granite and this gives natural acidity and freshness to the wine with excellent ageing potential.

about the harvest: The 2022 vintage is one of the longest and latest vintages in history. The growing season started very well due to a cold wet winter with sufficient soil
moisture. The growing season was cool with good growth in the vineyards. We however experienced extreme heat conditions in January and February that had an impact on the harvest.
The grapes were hand-harvested at 23 °Balling in the early morning in small crates.

in the cellar : The grapes were brought to the cellar where they were de-stemmed and sorted to remove any unwanted berries. The berries were crushed and the juice was settled overnight with only clean free-run juice transferred to the fermentation vessels.
This wine was naturally fermented in ceramic amphora vessels, diamanté wine tanks, and French oak barrels. The wine was aged on the lees for eight months before blending the different components to create perfect harmony.
