Kameraderie, Chenin Blanc, 2023

This Swartland Chenin is always the most concentrated and reserved of the two Chenins. Where Trust is typically delicate and more open on release, Kamaraderie requires a little focus, yet in 2023 its class simply leaps out of the glass. So pure and sophisticated with complex herbal notes of fennel along with hay and ripe citrus, this is a gorgeous Chenin. From two old blocks on the Paardeberg, planted in 1961 and 1968 on decomposed granite soils. Aged 82% in concrete the rest in used 500L barrel.
