2015 City on a Hill Wine Company White (750ml) x 6 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
André Bruyns, who worked briefly at Rijk’s in Tulbagh, and is assistant winemaker to David and Nadia Sadie in the Swartland, is also making his own wine under the City on a Hill label, the first release was this white blend from the 2015 vintage. André wants his wines to be very specific to their site and soil type. His white grapes come from 35 year old dryland vineyards in the Paardeberg Mountain, planted mainly with Chenin Blanc. Farming is sustainable with some organic and biodynamic practices used. The granitic soils enhance the stony/mineral attributes of the grapes giving rise to a focused and linear style. The wines are fermented naturally in old oak barrels to enhance the sense of place, and are bottled unfiltered. The White Blend is a blend of 92% Chenin Blanc with 8% Viognier and spends 10 months on lees. Tim Atkin MW 93/101
