2013 Naudé Old Vines Chenin Blanc (750ml) x 2 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
A man of integrity and great charm, winemaker Ian Naude eschews fashion and makes wines to express the grapes and their origins; as he refers to them 'wines with a story to tell'. "100% Chenin Blanc, this wine represents a blend of terroirs with the grapes coming from 35-50 year old vines in the Swartland and Durbanville. From three vineyards, two in Riebeek Kasteel vineyards and one in Stellenbosch, ranging from 35 to 55 years in age. Also known as ‘Steen’, the Chenin grapes from these 30- to 50-year-old vineyards revealed even more quality and intensity than we could have hoped for, proving that age eliminates the need for blending to achieve a high quality and intense white wine in a classic style," Christian Eedes remarked. With minimal interference and no additions barring some sulphites, this wine will age for 30+ years. Greg Sherwood MW 96/100
