Honeybunch Chenin Blanc Reserve 2025

R380,00
Only the exposed bunches on the morning sun side of our 37 year old Chenin Blanc vineyard are selected for this wine. The grapes turn gold in colour as a result of their exposure giving the wine a unique honeyed character. This wine is fermented with the wild/indigenous yeasts in older French oak barrels giving it an incredible complexity showing rich, honeyed fruit with a bright acidity leading into a delicious savoury finish.

Tasting Notes & Previous Vintages:

A layered and elegant Chenin Blanc showing aromas of passionfruit, yellow apple, citrus blossom, dried apricot, and honeycomb. The palate is richly textured yet beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity providing freshness and drive. Three carefully timed pickings contribute complexity, bringing together brightness, ripeness, and a subtle botrytis-derived richness. Barrel fermentation and maturation in 300L French oak barrels add depth and refinement without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, precise, and mineral, revealing a Chenin Blanc of remarkable poise, character, and aging potential.
