About this wine

The Vinoneers’ Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc is sourced from dry-farmed bush vines planted in the early 1970s in Durbanville. Low yields and careful hand-harvesting give concentrated fruit that is typically fermented with wild yeasts and aged on the lees in old barrels and/or concrete to emphasise texture over oak flavour. Expect taut citrus and quince, stone fruit, herbs and a saline, chalky edge. The 2024 vintage continues the house style: intense yet precise, with real ageing potential.

Tasting Note

Critics describe this wine as layered and mineral, with citrus, stone fruit, subtle spice and a long, saline finish that speaks clearly of old vines and cool-climate terroir.

In the glass

Pale straw with green reflections.

In the nose

Lemon and lime, quince and yellow apple with fennel, hay and a subtle flinty smokiness.

On the palate

Medium-bodied, tense and saline, with concentrated citrus/stone fruit, chalky texture and a long, mouth-watering finish.

Orpheus & The Raven

With a strong focus on Syrah, Chenin Blanc and Rhône varieties, the wines show purity, spice and texture rather than excess power. The approach is minimalist and terroir-focused, producing elegant, food-friendly expressions.
