2024 Forager White

Winemaker, Mike Graham, is something of a veteran with over 40 harvests under his belt. Over these 40 harvests, he has spent considerable time in the South African vineyards and is able to ‘forage’ unique parcels of grapes – which are turned into the delicious Forager wines.

Grapes: Chenin Blanc 78% / Grenache Blanc 22% The grapes are hand-picked to ensure only the best quality grapes with the most delicate aroma expressions make it into the wine. A dash of oak and lees contact (25% of the Chenin Blanc in 2nd to 3rd fill barrels) creates added complexity and depth.

Tasting Notes: Light yellow-straw. The nose is reminiscent of apricot, peach and quince with hints of lychee and cardamon. Citrus and stone fruit follow on the palate rounded by subtle oak and punchy lime acidity. The finish is long and dry. Medium to full bodied.

Food Pairing: Pair with wild mushroom risotto, Moroccan chicken tagine or herb crusted rack of lamb. Serve below room temperature: 8°C to 10°C.  This wine can be enjoyed now but will reward cellaring for up to 3-4 years.
