Cape Heights Chenin Blanc is a fresh, dry and classically aromatic Chenin from the Western Cape. There is a richness and soft mouthfeel which comes from part fermentation in old barrels, and extended period on the lees. Delicious flavours of baked apple and citrus zest make for a refreshing glass of wine that's soft and round but still dry. The Cape Heights range offers fantastic value for money and this is no exception.
This Chenin Blanc is sourced from vines grown on sandy loams over granite bedrock, the classic Cape soils type. No irrigation is used in the vineyards and very little crop control is needed due to the age of the vines naturally restricting yield. Part of the blend is wild yeast fermented and a tiny percentage in old barrels. The wine is left on fine lees for an extended period for greater palate weight and mouthfeel.
