The Fledge and Co – Klipspringer
Discovering Klipspringer Chenin Blanc
Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Cape mountain ranges, where Klipspringers gracefully navigate the fynbos-covered peaks. Similarly, Chenin Blanc thrives in the challenging climatic conditions and ancient soils of the Cape, particularly in the Swartland region.
Thriving Against the Odds
Just as the Klipspringers carve their niche high up amongst the precipitous peaks, Chenin Blanc adapts to prosper in the diverse and harsh environment of the Cape. From the weathered granitic soils atop the Paardeberg to the schist-rich earth near Kasteelberg, this Swartland Steen embodies resilience and tenacity.
Crafting Excellence, Bottle by Bottle
Swartland Steen exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Winemakers source grapes from old bush vines deeply rooted in ancient soils, pressing them whole bunch and fermenting them partially naturally. After a year of sur lie maturation, the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its origin, vintage, and flavor.
A Culinary Symphony
Indulge in the gastronomic delights that complement Klipspringer Chenin Blanc. Whether paired with a succulent Sunday roast chicken, fresh crustaceans, or braised pork belly, each dish is elevated by the wine’s nuanced flavors. Alternatively, sip it on its own and allow its complexity to unfold gradually.
Unveiling the Passage of Time
For those who appreciate the art of aging, let Klipspringer Chenin Blanc evolve in your cellar. Over time, the wine unveils new layers of complexity, showcasing the richness of bottle-matured Steen. Each sip becomes a journey through time, a testament to the wine’s ability to transcend the ordinary.
A Symphony of Flavors and Heritage
Klipspringer Chenin Blanc transcends being just a wine—it’s a celebration of resilience, craftsmanship, and heritage. From its origins high up in the Cape mountains to the bottle in your hand, each step of its journey is infused with passion and dedication. Indulge in the essence of Klipspringer Chenin Blanc and embark on a sensory adventure like no other.
