Gabrielskloof Era Rene Chenin Blanc 2024
Bot River, South Africa

All fruit was whole bunch pressed and 100% wild fermented. A small part of the wine (about 30%) was fermented and aged in clay amphorae, while the rest was fermented and matured in older 400-and 500L barrels. The wine spent nine months on its lees before blending and bottling.

The first vintage of this 100% Chenin Blanc is taut and angular at first but opens up to show a varied bouquet of unripe tropical fruit, white flowers, green apple, and lemon pith. The palate shows ripe orchard fruit alongside gooseberries, limes, and flint. Fresh acidity and the texture of green pineapple skin add tang and length to the finish.

Winery Profile

Gabriëlskloof is the realisation of a dream for South African Bernhard Heyns, who searched for several years to find the unique piece of land that would ‘root him to the spot’. Local farmer Barry Anderson had heard about Bernhard’s mission and arranged to meet him on a windy summer’s day in 2001 at a farm called “Avontuur” on the outskirts of Botrivier. Both immediately recognised the potential of this piece of land (at the time covered with wheat and canola, and home to a few wandering sheep) and soon after, Bernhard bought what is today Gabriëlskloof.
