About this Item
“It’s not about us. It’s about our region, its soils, its beautiful vineyards and beautiful people.” - David Sadie
100% Chenin Blanc
• Hand-picked from four certified single vineyards on multiple dates.
• All four vineyards are Old Vine Project certified dryland bush vines, with planting dates ranging from 1968 to 1985.

Tasting Notes: Focused on tension, purity, concentration and freshness with salinity as core.
Decant when young. Will mature well for 10 years plus.
