Douglas Green Vineyard Friends Chenin Blanc is ripe and tropical. No oak ageing so lighter in style, but style full bodied and fruity.
Intelligent and playful, the Cape Grey Mongoose is charming to watch, feeding off insects and burrowing in the vineyards. A fellow friend of the vineyards, this wine honours the small, bushy-tailed Mongoose - both big
on attitude and surprisingly dynamic.
"In our quest to source unique and exclusive vineyards, we visit many sites and meet interesting farmers along the way. In the past few years, we have noticed a definitive move towards sustainable vineyard practices and the preservation of natural flora and fauna. The goal is to establish long term relationships with these growers and promote their innovative approach to sustainability so that the wines we produce today, can be enjoyed for generations to come."
Grapes are sourced from mature sites in Perdeberg, Rawsonville and Worcester. Harvested at full ripeness at the different sites, cold settled and fermented (14-16°C) with specially selected yeast strains that accentuate modern, bright Chenin Blanc fruit. This ensured wonderful components to create this ripe, tropical wine with a hint of wheatiness.
