Description
The Eight Feet White from Kloovenburg has an elegant nose with a mixture of white flowers, citrus and spice which leads to a generous, richly textured palate and fine, balanced finish. This wonderful white is a blend of hand picked Chenin, Verdelho, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne harvested at different times to enable the final blend to have a balance of freshness, complexity and vitality. Made with free run juice the fermentation process is natural, often taking up to 3 months. The wine spends 10 months on it’s fine lees in barrel with regular battonage (to promote texture), before final blending and bottling. The absence of malolactic fermentation means that the wine retains freshness and acidity despite it’s time in barrel.
Kloovenburg are a superb family owned and run estate in Swartland, making approachable and elegant wines predominantly inspired by the Rhone.
35% Chenin Blanc, 27% Verdelho, 24% Grenache Blanc & 14% Roussanne

2019 Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Chateau Saransot-Dupre
Semillon/Sauvignon
Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac. Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness. Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'. High praise indeed!
