A fine example of old vine Chenin Blanc from a 60 year old vineyard in Breedekloof. A standout wine in the excellent Daschbosch range of ‘heritage’ wines, one of the region’s star producers.

Daschbosch has been dedicated to crafting both elegant and experimental wines since 1754, when the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Rijk Tulbagh, granted the farm its land. Rooted in traditional winemaking and fine craftsmanship, their wines embody the essence of the South African landscape. They tell the story of decades of vines thriving in one place—under the relentless sun, through the chill of winter rains, and amidst the fury of storms and winds—whether on a mountainside or an open plain. The result is a collection of wines that are both delicate and powerful.

Daschbosch wines are proudly certified under South Africa’s sustainability accreditation, the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) system, established in 1998. Sustainability is central to their philosophy, as they depend on the natural resource of grapes. Their eco-friendly practices include reducing their carbon footprint, conserving water, and utilizing solar energy to minimize electricity use. Deeply connected to their community, Daschbosch provides water to a local school, free accommodation for cellar workers, and access to medical check-ups.

On the nose there are ripe and complex aromas of mango and citrus with butterscotch and spicy notes. Ripe, concentrated fruit and a creamy, textural palate are offset by taut acidity giving focus to the intense yet restrained peach and dried apricot flavours. An impressive, elegant old vine Chenin with great purity of fruit and notable length.

This wine is perfect with creamy chicken and seafood dishes
