Information about "Black Elephant Vintners Free Bird Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2025"
The Black Elephant Vintners Free Bird Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2025 offers a delicate bouquet of stone fruits and citrus peel, nuanced by a subtle waxy depth. On the palate, it reveals a natural tension and complexity: fresh yet well-structured, with a gentle grip that narrates more about the vineyard than the cellar. An authentic wine formed by the land, this Chenin Blanc stems from dry-farmed bush vines planted in 1986 on granite soils in Swartland. It reflects time, place, and patience, inspired by the serene freedom of the birds living among us—without fear or permission!
Whole grape pressing and natural fermentation, followed by slow maturation in older barrels and foudres: The wine found its own rhythm, free from intervention.
