Discover quintessential Swartland character with the Klein Amoskuil Steen Old Vine Chenin Blanc 750ml. Sourced from dryland heritage bush vines in Malmesbury, this cuvée captures the pure depth of old-vine Steen. Hand-picked grapes ferment naturally with wild indigenous yeasts in seasoned oak casks and concrete. The bouquet reveals ripe yellow apple, white peach, orange blossom, and subtle honeyed fynbos. On the palate, concentrated orchard fruit balances seamlessly against brisk acidity and flinty minerality.
