About this Item

2022 The Fountain Terroir Specific Chenin Blanc
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

100% Chenin Blanc

• A benchmark Chenin Blanc selected from a dedicated old vineyard in Polkadraai Hills, Stellenbosch.
• 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.

Ready for drinking in 4 to 8 years.
