Crafted from 100% ripe, hand-picked Chenin Blanc grapes. The picking occurred in the mornings when conditions where cooler – all from old vineyard blocks. The grapes were partially fermented before fortifying, leaving some residual sugar. To add to its complexity and interest it was placed in demijohns on the tasting room roof for eight months. There it was madeirised in the sun and allowed to partially oxidise under a light flor veil. After enough time in the jars it was placed in used barrels for 14 months to settle. Only 600 bottles were produced. Bottled at 17%. (Bottle size 500ml)

Nose: A nutty, savoury character with hints of caramel and spice.

Palate: Rich and sweet, but with sufficient acid to balance.

Finish: It lingers forever.
