City on a Hill Sky Chenin Blanc 2023 750ml

Experience the exceptional terroir of the Swartland with the City on a Hill Sky Chenin Blanc 2023. This premium single-vineyard wine is a true gem, sourced from a high-altitude bush vine vineyard planted in 1998 on the Paardeberg mountains. Located at nearly 400 meters above sea level, the “Sky” vineyard’s unique decomposed granite soils and exposed conditions produce a wine with remarkable purity and minerality.

This Swartland Chenin Blanc is crafted with minimal intervention, using native yeast for fermentation in old 300-liter oak barrels. This process results in a wine with incredible focus and a linear, taut structure. The palate reveals nuanced notes of white peach, lime zest, and crisp pear, all balanced by a distinct saline tang and a wet-stone minerality.

Praised by top critics, the 2023 vintage is built for the long haul. Its vibrant acidity and complex depth make it a cellar-worthy wine that will continue to evolve beautifully. This is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of high-quality South African Chenin Blanc.
