Noble HillSur Lie Chenin Blanc 2019 (R79.83 Per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

Noble Hill is estate wine grown on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountains in South Africa. We make wine with pride in provenance and humility in craftsmanship. Our wines are fruitful structured elegant and above all authentic to their origin. Noble Hill is located on the granitic northern slopes of the Simonsberg mountains which have produced South Africa’s finest wines for more than 300 years. This Chenin Blanc opens with aromas of fresh lime blossom, honeydew melon, and green apple. The aromas are balanced by delicate mineral flavours derived from the rocky slopes of the Simonsberg mountains where the wine is grown.

Product Features

• Our old vine Chenin Blanc, planted without irrigation in a hidden crook overlooking the valley, grows with quiet strength and minimal intervention. 
• In 2016 we decided to invigorate our estate Chenin Blanc and established a new vineyard in deep decomposed granite soils high on the slopes of the Simonsberg. 
• Grapes from these two sites balance each other and give the wine's depth and complexity.
• We use unique large-format concrete vessels to ferment and mature our Chenin Blanc. 
• These concrete vessels allow the wine to develop nuance and complexity without imparting oak flavour. 
• The wine is fermented with wild yeast populations and left on the fine lees for 9 months with regular stirring to develop fullness and depth
• The palate is focused with lingering black fruit and robust tannins. 
• This wine pairs wonderfully with game meats such as pigeon, springbok, or kudu. 
• Enjoy confidently through 2026.
