Product information "David & Nadia Skaliekop Chenin Blanc 2017"
The David & Nadia Skaliekop Chenin Blanc is a high-dollar Swartland drop of a very big calibre! Sourced from a small shale outcrop, this premium Chenin was produced from 100% old bush vines. Herbal, intense and immensely focused, Skaliekop presents with immense depth and concentration as well as stunning nuances of fresh bread dough, beeswax, lanolin and lemon zest that finish long on a stony mineral and polished finish.

As with all Chenin Blancs in David & Nadia's Single Vineyard range, the grapes were whole bunch pressed, left to ferment naturally "wild" without inoculation of commercial yeasts and aged in selected older oak barrels.
Wine at David & Nadia is all about natural balance, purity and freshness, and they always adhere to the philosophy here that these qualities can only be properly expressed if the soil and vineyards are respected.
David & Nadia's focus is on different soil types, different mountain terrain and mainly bush vines. In the cellar, there is minimal intervention in the natural processes of vinification and only very small amounts of sulphur are added to the wine.
