This Chenin Blanc comes from old, dry-farmed vines in the Kalmoesfontein vineyard in the Swartland, planted on weathered granite and clay soils that give the grape its signature quince character.

100% Chenin Blanc, hand-harvested at 180 to 330 metres altitude on weathered granite, clay and shale soils. A cold soak of around 3 days at 10°C, followed by fermentation over some 10 days and around 9 months' ageing in older barrels.

The wine house

Dalkeith

Stellenbosch

Dalkeith is the personal project of Cape Town-born winemaker Graham Weerts, together with his good friends Adi Badenhorst and Mario Damon. The grapes come from three remarkable, once-overlooked parcels: Kalmoesfontein and Jakkalsfontein in the Swartland, owned by Badenhorst, and Koplandsteen in Stellenbosch, belonging to the Du Bois family. The old, dry-farmed bush vines at Kalmoesfontein, more than fifty years old and planted on weathered granite, yield the purest fruit in the region. The wines are made with minimal intervention and aged in a combination of ceramic, amphora and old, neutral wood. All simply to let the character of the place speak. Worth knowing: the name Dalkeith refers to a waterhole in the Kgalagadi border region, a source of life in the desert where predators and prey meet. An image Weerts felt suited his wine perfectly.
