The David and Nadia Chenin Blanc is a complex and layered wine, with prominent notes of lemongrass, citrus, apple, stone fruit, and honey with a dazzling saline quality and hints of wild herbs. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with a bright acidity and a long, elegant finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, spicy dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own.

 

 

 

David & Nadia is a family owned Swartland driven project and  focusses on a spectrum of organic, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types throughout the Swartland, farmed by like-minded people. They are members of the Swartland Independent Producers.

In the vineyard they aim for biological farming and in the cellar they work as natural as possible. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. They believe in a pure, fresh and natural style where site and soil are at work with minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.

Their Chenin blanc from the Swartland focusses on various Old Vine Vineyards, with plantings ranging from 1968 till 1986. The wine is based on granite from the Paardeberg, blended with shale/schist from the east, more clay rich soils from the north and iron rich soils from the western parts of the Swartland. Dry land farmed bush vines have stood the test of time and it showcases the ultimate reason why Chenin blanc is the main focus in the Swartland.

In total the wine is made from 8 vineyards, 18 pickings, different soils, different aspects, different vineyard ages, farmed by different people and different farmers. This wine illustrates the Swartland, its people and its old vineyards. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented and then matured for 11 months in old neutral French oak barrels. Two components were fermented and matured in concrete (18% concrete in total) – one in a square concrete tank and the other in a concrete egg. The wine has a Certified Heritage Vineyards (CHV) seal and forms part of the Old Vine Project (OVP).
