Profile from winealign.com:
From old chenin vines near Paardeberg this is a rich, barrel-aged chenin blanc. The nose is a bit reserved with vague butterscotch, pear and spicy, cedary notes. Palate is medium-full bodied, creamy and smooth with good acidity. The wine’s power and pedigree is found on the finish, with spice, minerality and butterscotch carrying to excellent length. A bit hot and peppery.
