This wine is a blend of 60% Chenin Blanc, 19% Chardonnay 10% Viognier, 7% Grenache Blanc & 4% Roussanne.

A stunning wine oozing apricot, orange blossom and wild honey, wrapped up in toasty oak finish. Mostly old vine Chenin Blanc from a single vineyard for richness, tempered by the verve and aromatics of Grenache blanc, Viognier & Roussanne.

All grapes are hand-picked at optimum ripeness and refrigerated for 24hrs before being processed. The Chenin is whole bunch press and no Sulphur added to promote wild yeast development. The unsettled juice is then rapidly transferred to barrel for natural fermentation. Although a nerve-racking process, this method lends structure, complexity, and longevity to the wine. The Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier are destemmed and cold fermented for 8 days on the skins before being basket pressed directly to barrel to complete fermentation. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is matured 12 months on the lees before being racked, blended, and bottled

Named in honour of Babiana Noctiflora, which is a rare species of fynbos found only on the Paardeberg Mountain. It has a delicate yellow flower that releases its scent in the evenings to attract an extremely rare moth for pollination. The Syngrapha Circumflexa of the Noctuidae moth family is also known as an Owlet moth.

Vondeling hail from the hidden gem that is Paardeberg in South Africa. Fully organic wines from a mixture of old vines. Hand picking and minimal intervention in the cellar leads to brilliant quality showing the true potential of the grapes. Natural fermentation using only the yeast naturally present on the grape are an integral part of the process. Basket pressing, hand plunging, minimal filtering and no fining also feature in the hands-on approach. Accredited ‘Conservation Champion’ from the WWF.
