Bonfire Hill White Chenin Blanc Roussanne Grenache Blanc Viognier Blend 750ml

Life is short. Be true. Be kind. Be brave. Light a bonfire.

Tasting Note

Welcome to complex, ripe aromas of citrus and peach, backed up by the faintest sprinkling of fresh thyme and vanilla. The aromas introduce a palate altogether more complex, with rich, more-ish, juicy stone fruit, wrapped up in crunchy, refreshing, grapey acidity. Mouth-filling, delicious and succulent.

Food Pairing

Spring vegetables, light seafood dishes and scallops.

Winemaking

All around the far-flung edges of South African vineyards are special blocks of vineyards that disappear into massive blends of often mediocre quality. The Bonfire Hill range of wines is all about plucking these vineyards from obscurity and allowing them to sing.

Chenin Blanc is tank fermented (76%); Roussanne and Grenache Blanc barrel fermented, on lees for 8 months (24%); Viognier is made at The Drift Estate. Destemmed to open top fermenters, 14+ days on the skins, fermented with natural yeast at 11°C, pressed in a basket press to barrel, partial malolactic fermentation. Bottled on 21 September 2021.
