This is the wine that put Tierhoek on the map. A full bodied Chenin overflowing with expression and flavour.  6 Months of French oak add fullness and complexity to this mouth-watering wine, while the minerality and stone-fruit acidity provide a long lasting after taste.  Will age for 4 to 5 years.
These  grapes were taken from 3 different parcels of 30yr old vines and were vinified in various methods to create complexity.  30% of the Chenin was fermented and matured in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels for 6 months.  This was then blended in with 70% tank fermented  Chenin, to provide more elegance and acidity.  The wine spent some time in tank after being blended, to create harmony.
