CONTERMANSKLOOF BLOUKLIP STEEN 2019

This Chenin Blanc from the Contermanskloof vineyard in Durbanville is sourced from 42-year-old bushvines, showcasing the unique terroir of decomposed blue slate and shale soils. Despite 2019 s drought challenges, this parcel shined, offering ripe fruit balanced by Atlantic-influenced acidity. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in older French barriques, the wine displays lovely purity with a spicy edge. The palate offers richness and energy in harmony, featuring darker fruit notes that reflect the distinctive Blouklip shale soils.
