100% Chenin Blanc

Wine of Origin: Polkadraai Hills Stellenbosch
Winemaker: Bruwer Raats

This wine is an expression of Bruwer Raats’s lifelong passion for and sustained focus on Chenin Blanc. Selected from a dedicated old vineyard in Polkadraai Hills Stellenbosch, this wine tells the story of the unique decomposed granite soil of this ward and reflects the family’s mastery of this variety. Fountain Terroir Specific Chenin Blanc is the first Chenin Blanc made by Bruwer for the CWG from a small portion of the Fountain Block vineyard identified as consistently yielding exceptional quality. Three barrels are produced from each vintage, whereafter the best barrel is selected for the CWG Auction.

Tasting Notes: Made from vines from the revered Fountain Block vineyard in Polkadraai Hills, Stellenbosch, this wine is complex, rich and textural, showing quince, yellow apple, mandarin orange and honeyed peaches. The palate is focused, fresh and pure with lovely mid-palate tension, textural concentration and a lingering wet stone minerality.

Ready to drink in the next 5 -10 years.
