The Roodekrantz 1983 Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc comes from the Swartland and is made from 41-year-old, dry-farmed bush vines grown on weathered granite soils with organic material. The wine pays tribute to its origins and the age of the vines with a clear, precise style that focuses on fruit, freshness and finesse.
The grapes are harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning at optimum ripeness. After destemming, gentle crushing and pressing, the must is clarified overnight. 90% of the wine ferments in stainless steel tanks, while 10% is fermented in two 500-liter French oak barrels. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged for three months on the fine lees to promote depth and character. A small portion matured in wood is then blended with the wine aged in stainless steel, which adds complexity and richness.
On the nose, the wine displays aromatic notes of tropical and stone fruits such as white peach, pineapple, citrus zest and yellow apple, complemented by a subtle hint of corn kernel that adds depth. On the palate, it is clear and precise with soft, well-integrated acidity. A discreet wood influence adds dimension without overpowering the purity of the wine. The style is straightforward and focused rather than opulent, carried by clean tropical fruit and a fresh citrus accent on the finish. Composed, refreshing and true to the old vines, this Chenin Blanc stands for finesse, focus and pure fruit.
An excellent accompaniment to grilled sea bream or king prawns with lemon and herbs, fresh salads with fennel and goat's cheese, light chicken dishes, sushi or sashimi as well as mild soft cheeses.
