Walker Bay Region

She was an inspirational woman and Raoul Beaumont’s mother. She had a passion for gardening and a love for wine. A true individual with a strong but very feminine character. She was a classic and she lived till the grand age of 90. Only fruit selected from our oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard is used for this wine. The vines were planted in 1978. The wine is 100% barrel fermented in 400L French oak (25%New) using only natural yeasts.No malolactic fermentation takes place keeping the freshness of acidity. Fresh fruit and floral aromas. A delicate cinnamon spice from a combination of fruit and oak.  Hints of ripe green apple, dried apricot and almond on mid palate. Well integrated oak with limey freshness and a slightly chalky aftertaste.
