Eenzaamheid is situated in the Agter-Paarl area of South Africa’s Western Cape. The name of the farm is Dutch for ‘solitude’, and refers to its isolation from Cape Town, when it was named in 1693. The Briers-Louw family have been the capable custodians of this beautiful property for over 180 years and have developed the farm into a multi-faceted enterprise including grapes, cattle, sheep, and wheat. Janno Briers-Louw, 7th generation farmer, produces award winning, handcrafted wines from the old dryland vineyards. Less than 15% of South Africa’s vineyards are currently farmed without irrigation, as not all terroirs are suitable for the dryland cultivation of wine grapes. The Mediterranean climate and deep shale soils of the Agter-Paarl region are reflected in the unique character of these distinctive wines.
Eenzaamheid Chenin Blanc 2023
R316.00
Region: Agter-Paarl
Tasting note:
“Attractive aromas of bruised yellow apples, hay and a touch of beeswax. The palate displays a lovely richness, and a fleshy mid-palate texture as derived from the sur lie ageing process, while the fruit flavours are perfectly balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity. The oak component adds subtle interest in the background. Lengthy flavours of baked apple pie and winter melon linger on the finish. Our Chenin Blanc is known for its exceptional ageing potential and will reward careful cellaring for up to 10 years from vintage. Pair with roast chicken with herbs & lemon, pork tenderloin with apple compote, butternut risotto or pumpkin gnocchi.” – Winemaker
