Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet.

The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
