Tasting notes
Bright yellow apple and pineapple lead into melon and lime. Fresh citrus flavours lift the palate, followed by a clean, lingering mineral finish.
Producer profile
Bruwer Raats established his family winery in 2000, specialising in Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Based in the Polkadraai Hills near Stellenbosch, the estate focuses on wines that express their vineyard origins.
Viticulture and winemaking
Chenin Blanc grows on decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone soils. Parcels are fermented separately in stainless steel and matured on their lees, building texture without oak influence.
Food pairing
A versatile match for sushi, oysters and gently spiced curries.
