Story
Klippenkop Chenin Blanc is an appealing light straw colour. It’s a full bodied wine with powerful varietal flavours of pineapple, granadilla, melon and green apple. It has good structure and has a lovely balance with great acidity. It is beautifully drunk with food as well as on it’s own on a warm day. The fruit for Klippenkop Chenin Blanc was sourced from 35 specially selected grape growing families in the Robertson Valley. The vines are grown in deep alluvial soil that is rich in lime and receives an annual rainfall of only 280mm per year. The Chenin Blanc vines are planted on the riverbanks with a row direction from the northwest to southeast to utilize the prevailing sea breeze. The annual average rainfall is supplemented by controlled drip irrigation from the Breede River. The grapes were harvested between 21-22B from a selection of vineyards. They then went through a gentle pressing followed by using a pneumatic bag press to capture the delicate fruit component. The win was made reductively to prevent any oxidation and to ensure that natural flavours of the grapes could be retained. Fermentation happened slowly in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 18 days at 13C. This wine is best enjoyed now and goes best with seafood, smoked salmon, roast chicken and pork.
