Production Details The Chardonnay and the Viognier were fermented in 300 litre French oak. The fresh, fruity unwooded bush vine Chenin Blanc forms the backbone of this wine. The wood fermented Chardonnay and Viognier adds to the richness and creaminess which complements the fruit of the Chenin Blanc. Andries Blake has 18 years of experience and knowledge of the Swartland terroir and this enabled him to select the best vineyards for the Tourmaline. This wine is a true reflection of the Swartland terroir. The Swartland is pre-dominantly a dry land bush vine area with low yields and high concentration of fruit flavours.
Food Pairing smoked yellow tail, chicken with spring vegetables, traditional Cape Malay curry
