Fram Description
The predominantly citrus-producing Citrusdal valley lies in the southern reaches of the Olifants River valley. The soils are mainly sandy alluvial soils from the surrounding Table Mountain sandstone mountains in the southern part of the valley up until Clanwilliam. Irrigation is obtained from the Clanwilliam dam where the water is of an excellent quality.
Vinification: Destemmed and pressed straight to barrel. Natural ferment without any additionsfor 3 months. Bottled after a single filtration. No fining or stabilisation. At prolonged cold temperatures a harmlesssediment might develop. This wine will drink well in it's youth but has the potential to be cellared for 7-10 years with ease. A light deposit may occur and is a sign of the wines authentic approach in how it was made.
Tasting Notes: The tight racy acidity is the standout characteristic of this Chenin Blanc. Juicy ripe peach and pineapple fruit, a waxy texture and complexity on the palate. Very good concentration of fruit as well as freshness.
