Named after Vulpes chama – Cape fox. The Cape fox is only found in Southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.
A quintessential and impeccable expression of high-altitude Swartland Chenin. The Chama 2024 is sourced from two distinct blocks, including the elevated ‘sky block’ on Eikelaan farm (400m above sea level), where cool breezes, granite soils, and dryland farming yield fruit of immense precision. And from Jakkalsfontein, which benefits from underground water giving concentrated fruit.
“Grapes from two Paardeberg vineyards, one planted in 1986 and the other in 1996. The nose is subtle and complex with a little flinty reduction preceding pear, peach, quince and citrus plus floral perfume and hay. Great fruit concentration and well-integrated acidity before a savoury finish. Pure and precise, tightly wound yet not too underdone. ” -96/100 Christian Eedes Winemag.co.za
