David and Nadia “Plat’bos” Chenin Blanc 2020

“Introducing the third vintage of the Plat’bos Chenin blanc, planted right next to the Skaliekop vineyard in decomposed granite. Planted in 1981 on the Paardeboschfarm, this vineyard contributes to both our main Chenin blanc as well as Aristargosand it will continue to do so. We have been farming this vineyard since winter 2013 and it has been a pillar in our granite approach towards our white wines. Grapes were harvested in the second part of January, being one of the earliest Chenin blanc vineyards we work with, planted on a northern slope. Harvesting took place over five picking dates and all lots were fermented and aged separately. Plat’bos is one of four of our wines qualifying for the Old Vine Project (OVP) seal.”- Winemaker’s notes
