Konstantia Chenin Block 27, which is at least 40 years old, provides the fruit for this wine. This extraordinary drop shows a limey, floral nose, a touch candied, with chalk and almond notes. The lovely slick fore-palate has layers of freshly minted flavours: white currant, white-flesh peach, and nectarine. The delicate flavours sparkle on a hugely focused palate, acids massaging the best out of the fruit, leading to a resounding finish of great intensity and mouth-watering joy.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Sheree Nothnagel
"I can remember as a kid of about 10 years old, trying to prune the one grape vine that grew in my grandparent's back yard. Ten years later vines became an intricate part of my life." After graduating from Elsenburg Agricultural College in Stellenbosch, Sheree spent the next three years as a flying winemaker, chasing vintages abroad. She worked in the USA, Australia, France and New Zealand. In 2019 she joined Riebeek Valley Wine Company to run the boutique cellar and custom crushing facility. Here, every day is a unique opportunity to work with a wide variety of cultivars and winemaking techniques and to challenge the norm. "It gives me great pleasure to see people enjoying our wine."
"This amazing wine is whole bunch pressed, settled out overnight, steel fermented and then it's split to finish in cement tanks and barrel. This split is key: it retains freshness in the cement and softens off and broadens in the barrels, creating balance in the wine." - Sheree Nothnagel, Winemaker.
