As already announced in the name ("The Orange"), the Lammershoek Mysteries Die Oranje flows into the glass like a delicate orange evening glow and exudes a seductively inviting bouquet of slightly nutty notes as well as aromas of fragrant juniper berries and dried orange peel. On the palate, the already sniffed aromas of this single variety Chenin Blanc continue in the form of delicious taste nuances and combine with delicious notes of stone fruit, caramel and fine spices. The well-integrated acidity and the fine tannin of the wine provide a stunning balance and finish with a slightly salty aftertaste.
This Chenin Blanc comes from unirrigated dry land vines, which boast a proud age of 37 - 53 years. A rather untypical representative of this South African grape variety, which inspires the senses with its fine orange sunset tone and beguilingly complex bouquet!

The grapes for this very special Chenin Blanc were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning from various cultivation sites on the farm and only the best berries from the harvest were used for the further production process. The juice was left to ferment naturally spontaneously, i.e. no commercial yeasts were used to start the fermentation process. Only naturally occurring yeast on the fruit and in the environment initiated the fermentation of this stunning chenin. The vinification on the skin ensured a maximum of intensive aroma extraction and gives a wine that inspires!
