100% Chenin Blanc

This flor-influenced Chenin Blanc resembles one of these pieces of abandoned pottery, found trodden into the bare dirt on a rustic cellar floor. Resting in old 300 litre oak, it was never the intention to allow the wine to develop this way. In fact, it had been condemned by the winemaker himself as being ‘faulty’.

But one man’s disfigurement is another man’s Kintsugi.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the breakage with lacquer dusted with gold or silver, thus highlighting any imperfection.
