David & Nadia “Plat’bos” Chenin Blanc 2022

“Introducing the fifth vintage of the Plat’bos Chenin blanc, planted right next to the Skaliekop vineyard in decomposed granite. Planted in 1981 on the Paardebosch farm, this vineyard contributes to both our main Chenin blanc as well as Aristargos and 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 first part of February, being one of the earliest Chenin blanc vineyards we work with, planted on a northern slope. Harvesting took place over two picking dates and both lots were fermented and aged separately. Plat’bos is also part of the Old Vine Project (OVP).” – Winemaker’s notes
