NC- Leeuwenkuil Chenin Blanc
- In stock
- Backordered, shipping soon
Leeuwenkuil, or "Lion's Lair," has a history dating back to 1693 with the Dreyer family taking ownership in 1851. Current owners, Willie and Emma Dreyer, have transformed the farm into the largest vineyard in South Africa’s Cape Coastal area, now spanning 1250 hectares.
With a commitment to sustainable practices, Leeuwenkuil produces natural, unoaked wines that showcase the purity of Swartland’s terroir. Their dry Chenin Blanc is made from older bush-vines that are dry farmed resulting in lower yields. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel with natural yeasts. Thick berry skins and lees contact add richness and depth to the most recent vintages.
"A retrained, fresh style offering with aromas of yellow apple, stone fruit and a hint of grapefruit. The palate is light and crisp with a bright minerality that carries."
