Franschhoek Cellar Chenin Blanc (La Cotte Mill) is a wine with animated pear and pineapple, fleshy peach, nectarine and litchi aromas supported by a line of bright citrus and tropical fruit that blossom with leesy intrigue on the palate, and finish with zesty freshness and grace.
Old mill houses were once a common feature on the landscape of the valley, and La Cotte is one of the few original mills that remain. This artisanal workhouse was restored in the late 80s by the Franschhoek Conservation Trust in association with our Franschhoek Cellar. Our Chenin Blanc pays homage to this valued landmark.
The vineyards vary in age from 3 to 30 years. The vineyards are planted on a variety of soil types for optimal performance. A combination of trellised and bush vines with a yield of between 5 and 11 tons per hectare.
The grapes undergo a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by 4 months on the lees with occasional stirring for added richness and complexity.
