Porcupine Ridge Chenin Blanc

The nose is rich, layered and fruity with its aromas of green apple, marmalade and gentle whiffs of lemon curd, acacia, tarragon and honeysuckle. Yellow apple, ripe pear and poached quince show on the palate with nuances of marzipan and lime. The midpalate is fruity, round, vibrant and balanced, withintegrated acidity. The wine finishes clean and fresh with hints of apple
blossom, chamomile and ginger.

The Porcupine Ridge brand has its origins in the natural environment of the farm and the ongoing efforts to conserve the biodiversity on the property and the surrounding mountains. In addition to a number of rare fauna and flora species – such as the erica lerouxiae which is endemic to Boekenhoutskloof  the farm is home to a several Crested Porcupine families, which are however
rarely seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle.“These wines are honest, true to type, and true to cultivar. Our winemaking philosophy has always been to follow a natural approach of no acidification
and free range egg white fining. The resulting wines are much more about a generous palate weight than simple primary aromatics followed by acidity. ” ~
