South Africa
Region:Swartland
This wine is a delicious celebration of two important Cape wine producing regions: Swartland and the Breede River Valley. The Grenache Blanc grapes which are used in this blend come from the hot and extremely dry conditions of Swartland. The lack of water here leads to smaller yields of more-concentrated fruit - which is why this region specialises in making rich, fruit-driven wines. Ryno then expertly blends this concentrated juice with Breedekloof Chenin Blanc. This part of the Breede River Valley greatly benefits from cooling afternoon shadows from the Slanghoek Mountains which tempers the afternoon heat, letting grapes retain their fresh acidity while still developing ripe fruit flavours. It is a perfect combination which gives this wine harmony and impact.

The wine must express where it comes from, you must be able to taste the soil, the quality of the grapes and lastly, hopefully, something from me as the winemaker - you will end up with a wine destined for greatness.
"Swartland and the Breede River Valley are two hugely important wine producing regions in the Western Cape, offering very different climates. By blending these two parcels of grapes you get depth and complexity from the Grenache Blanc and refreshing acidity and varietal fruit from the Chenin Blanc. It is a superb combination!" - Ryno Booysen, Winemaker.
