Layered, expressive nose of yellow apple, white peach, dried apricot, beeswax and a whisper of fennel. The palate is creamy and textural — lees-driven richness in balance with bright citrus acidity, savoury oak in support, and a long, mineral, savoury finish.
2018 Vintage — Kaapsche Hoek, Franschhoek, South Africa
Anemos is Old Road Wine Co.’s old-vine Chenin Blanc from a single high-altitude site in the Kaapsche Hoek above Franschhoek. The vineyard sits on weathered granite and decomposed shale at elevation, with cool winds rolling off the Franschhoek mountains — conditions that drive low yields, slow ripening, and the textural complexity for which the wine is known.
100% old-vine Chenin Blanc, hand-harvested. Wild-yeast fermentation in a large 2,500-litre foudre with 500-litre seasoned oak in support. Extended lees ageing for texture and savoury complexity, with minimal intervention throughout.
