Cuvée V

This limited production wine is made in the famous demi-sec style of the wines from Vouvray
in France.
Our special Chenin Blanc vineyards produce wines with rich, concentrated fruit flavours. This wine has a lingering touch of sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity and distinct minerality.
 
From the winemaker:
Chenin Blanc vines in the Agter-Paarl region produce concentrated, flavourful wines with wonderful balance and complexity. When making this wine, we use only free-run juice from grapes from selected Chenin Blanc vineyards.  To deliver the sweetness and texture that makes this wine so wonderful to drink, we stop the fermentation process when the sugar content of the wine reaches the desired level. This also ensures a lower alcohol level and a nice balance to the acidity in the wine. We have tried to make a new world Vouvray-style wine, with lots of new world tropical fruit, pineapple, syrupy peaches and sweet citrus flavours and aromas that are balanced with a refreshing acidity and the minerality characteristic of the Agter-Paarl region.

Pairing:
Don’t be fooled by the sweetness, because this is a versatile wine that will go well with most fish, aromatic curry and poultry dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif on a hot summer afternoon!
