About this Item

• The wine tells the story of the unique terroir of the Polkadraai Hills' decomposed dolomite granite soil.
• We select a small portion of the block identified as consistently the best to craft one barrel for the CWG Auction.
• The Fountain Terroir Specific Chenin Blanc was the first wine Bruwer released for the CWG Auction, and he continues this tradition.
• The wine reflects Bruwer's lifelong passion and focus for Chenin.
Tasting Notes: The aromatics are opulent, showing quince, yellow apple and mandarin orange, with ginger spice adding dimension alongside intensity.
