Description
A mature example of Swartland Chenin Blanc, redolent with savoury characteristics such as macerated yellow plum and nectarines, hazelnut, orange peel and butterscotch.
Yet the wine is still alive with a vibrant and persistent saline minerality. A pitch perfect example of aged Cape Chenin that any enthusiast of mature whites will take great pleasure from without having to exercise a modicum of patience.
Producer Profile
Swerwer Wines are produced by winemaker JC Wickens based in the Swartland winemaking region. Jasper is a young, passionate, fun-loving guy who isn’t afraid to do things a little differently. He can usually be found in his wine cellar working away with 80’s rock playing in the background. During his early winemaking days he used to ‘migrate’ from harvest to harvest in different winemaking regions in the world including the US, Spain & France. These frequent travels not only gave him invaluable winemaking experience but also earned him the nickname ‘Swerwer’ meaning Wanderer in Afrikaans.
