The Old Road Wine Co. tells the story of special vines grown in the rugged corners of the Franschhoek wine country. The worn smooth stones of a meandering trail tell the story of dedicated farm hands that tend to this vineyard, planted in 1984, isolated amongst the fynbos and forest on the slopes of the Franschhoek valley.
Tasting Note
Concentrated yet fresh, with mouth-filling white pear, quince and apricot, followed by aromatic almond blossom and a balanced, mineral lingering finish. Its depth of flavour is one of the Stone Trail’s stand-out features, along with a bright, focused acidity and earthy minerality which should see it age well.

pear almond green apple lemon peel butterscotch gooseberry
The wine is in celebration of all one of the Legends of Franschhoek - Le Courier - that brought villagers their fresh livestock and vegetables. A slightly complex unwooded Chenin Blanc that requires focus when you need to enjoy it deeper. Nice and fresh/crisp at first palate interaction however it turns soft when it realises it is safe and releases well balanced flavours on a medium body palate. Flavours: pear apricot honey vanilla butterscotch ??????????
Delicious chenin with white pear and a smooth, butterscotch finish
Stunning Chenin with a dry mouth feel and good acidity Flavors and aromas of lemon, almonds and green apples with a pleasant finish
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
- Terry Wharton Hood -
Great wine at a great time, everytime
