Springfontein Jil’s Dune Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc (2018)
Layered aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, apple with vanilla undertones. Good depth of aromas on the palate, well integrated with oak toast notes and fresh after-taste of minerality.
All grapes of this purely organic Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc derive from one of Springfontein’s oldest blocks, #I4, nestled in the estate’s limestone dunes. Within reach of the Benguela and the Agulhas current’s mixing zone, you can hear, smell and almost see the freezing sea waters swell and mist, not a handful of miles away, which in Walker Bay’s winter attract the calving whales. For this wine, the two oceans create a cool microclimate so unique as our tiny piece of earth’s calcareous soils.
