ageing : This wine will gain complexity over the coming 3-4 years.

Every now and again we hear of a parcel of grapes with an interesting story or discover a vineyard that gets our creative juices flowing. This range of wines comprises small volume, premium wines from exclusive and sustainably-farmed vineyards.

We share our small-scale wine making equipment with one of the region’s biggest producers, Leeuwenkuil Family Vineyards. Over the past 13 years we have worked in their experimental cellar crafting small batches of wine. This relationship allows Painted Wolf Wines access to some of the best vineyards in Paarl and the Swartland.
in the vineyard : These Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested from three dry land bush vine vineyards in the Voor Paardeberg and the Swartland, between 20 and 35 years old.
about the harvest: The fruit was harvested at a variety of sugar levels, between 22 and 23 balling
in the cellar : Whole bunch pressed and settled before being fermented in barrel with natural wild yeast. We used 500- litre French oak barrels, with around
25% new super tight grain oak. The balance were older barrels. Fermentation was very slow.

Total production 3 110 bottles.
