Tasting notes:
'We have Chenin planted on various sites on our farm and this wine is a mash-up of the best of these sites. It has a great balance of zippy freshness to go with its aromatic complexity. Attractive aromas of pineapple, peach and citrus are well held together with a subtle spice and leesy complexity from the 8 months spent in large French oak Foudres.' – Winemaker
About Opstal:
A string of Platter’s 5-star accolades proves that Attie Louw, Winemaker of Opstal, knows a thing or two about producing top-end Chenin Blanc. Dating back to 1847, Opstal is all about family with themselves, their farmworkers and production manager all spanning over generations. Opstal produces a variety of wines under three different labels – the Sixpence Range, Estate Range and Heritage Range.
