Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Origin: Coastal Region (Agter-Paarl, Durbanville and
Bottelary Hills)
Vintage Comment: 2015 was the Goldilocks vintage for
Chenin blanc, not to warm, not to cold, just perfect. Ripe
fruit, lower sugars and great analysis.
In the Vineyard: The grapes for this wine are from 3
exceptional Chenin Blanc vineyards with an average age of
45 years. These low yielding (4-5 tons per hectare) mature
bush vines grow in soils that are predominately weathered
granite with open canopies for maximum sunlight penetration.
In the Cellar: Grapes are hand harvested at 24°Balling and
are pressed in whole bunches before single-lot fermentation.
The wine is wood matured for 12 months in 50% new French
oak and 50% second fill barrels with extended lees contact
and regular batonnage for richness and added depth and
dimension.

Regio : Western Cape
Druiven : 95% Chardonnay 5% Viognier
Bright gold with a youthful green glow. A generous nose of sunny citrus, fleshy yellow peach and tropical pineapple aromas with gentle white pear and spice carried through to the palate. Well balanced, fruity and fresh through to a playful citrus finish.

A soft dry white blend that is best enjoyed well chilled for effortless enjoyment. A great versatile blend that suits all seasons and most social occasions, particularly delicious with fish and chips, sushi, creamy chicken pie, mild Thai curries and Chinese take-out.

Bishop’s Leap is een merk van het familiebedrijf Saint Clair, waarvoor het druiven koopt bij verschillende telers in Marlborough.
Een perfecte formule voor het maken van een goede, betaalbare Sauvignon Blanc, met kruisbes, passievrucht, gras, paprika; sappig in de smaak, frisse zuren, aangenaam
