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.

Age of vines: 15 years

Average yield: 5 tonnes per hectare

about the harvest: The 2023 vintage was notably interesting, with an early start, a dry spring, and much-needed rainfall in early December. The growing season was cool, promoting good vineyard growth, and the harvest began 10 days earlier than in 2022 under favourable weather conditions.

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, a 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.
