Darling Cellars Reserve Arum Fields Chenin Blanc

The nose shows beautiful pear and fresh citrus, particularly grapefruit, perhaps kumquat. There are musky herbal notes present here too, difficult to define, something like rooibos. As always, the wine has a striking sense of purity. That classic Skurfberg saline vigour underpins the whole palate. This vintage is medium-bodied yet rich in flavour, with good length and balance.

A complex expression of three mountainous vineyards, featuring shale, greywacke and granite soils. From vines planted as early as 1972.

A collection of rare Tamboerskloof wines inspired by the exceptional grapes that cross our path. “The charm of these wines lies in the quality of the grapes, the care of the hands that create them, and the soul of the places that they come from.” Each wine comes in a recycled paper bag, tied at the top with a thinly cut tyre tube. This is a pale straw-coloured wine has a lively nose, starting with wild flower and white pear.

This is our second vintage of The Power of Love Chenin Blanc and sees a change of origin from Simonsberg to Swartland. It’s vibrant, full-bodied and fruit-forward with refreshing flavours of guava, pineapple, yellow peach and winter melon. The palate zings with flavours of citrus, white pear, quince and lingering blood orange.
