Chenin Blanc \’Hoe-Steen\’, David & Nadia Sadie 2021

David & Nadia\’s main Chenin Blanc from the Swartland focusses yet again on various Old Vine Vineyards, with plantings ranging from 1968 till 1986. The wine is based on granite from the Paardeberg, blended with shale/schist from the east, more clay rich soils from the north and iron rich soils from the western parts of the Swartland.

Dry land farmed bush vines have stood the test of time and it showcases the ultimate reason why Chenin Blanc is their main focus in the Swartland. In total the wine is made from 8 vineyards, 18 pickings, different soils, different aspects, different vineyard ages, farmed by different people and different farmers. This wine illustrates the Swartland, its people and its old vineyards.
