Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc

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.

Rich green-gold colour with flakes of olive. The fragrance of dusty lemon and lanolin, dried herbs and freshly picked dewy lemon leaves leap from the glass. The palate is finely textured with creamy orchard fruit, underpinned by subtle vanilla oak. Lush and bright with great palate weight, rounded and harmonious with a dry, lingering preserved lemon and spice finish. Beautifully balanced and focussed – a Chenin triumph!

A wonderfully lively, intense, fruity and beautifully balanced dry Chenin Blanc. Aromas of lemon, stone fruit, honeysuckle and hints of almonds on the nose.
