The Wild Olive “Old Vines” Chenin Blanc 2012

An exciting project to produce an elegant, full bodied, unwooded Chenin Blanc from two 28-year-old Chenin goblets in the Swartland came to fruition with the release of our 2011 Wild Olive Chenin Blanc.   

These vineyards have faithfully delivered superior Chenin grapes, every single year for the last 3 decades and have now been given a chance to show their class on their own and not as part of a greater blend. The 2012 vintage has proven itself to be a worthy successor and continues to win admirers and friends.  

Tasting Notes

A refined and well-balanced Chenin Blanc with notes of gooseberry, green apple and guava. The finish is long and shows an elegant minerality.

Enjoy by the glass, or pair with light fare such as fish, shellfish, white meats and salads.
