Peter Bayly Cape White NV (375ml)

In the quaint Klein Karoo hamlet of Calitzdorp, world famous for its fine wines, dried fruits and hospitality, there is a winding dirt road that leads one out of town and into the picturesque Groenfontein Valley.  As the dirt road takes one esver deeper into Groenfontein, winding its way along the rambling Nel’s River and gently rolling hillsides covered in spekboom, aloes and all manner of Karoo succulents, you find a small sign post with a portly golden flying pig emblazoned on it and then you know you’ve found the place where dreams do come true, as you’ve found the Baylys and their secret patch of vines.  Peter and Yvonne Bayly headed into this secluded valley over a decade ago to fulfil their lifelong dream of crafting artisanal wines and “live free-range” in one of the most secluded areas of South Africa.

This dry Cape White Port is a blend of the 2008 through to 2021 vintages, produced from 100% Chenin Blanc grown in the deep red fertile soils of the Calitzdorp valley.  Only 1300 bottles were produced, using artisanal vinification techniques – such as the use of lagares, manual pigeage and maturation in seasoned barrique.
