The Hedgehog Organic Chenin Blanc – 750ml

In a first for Orange River Cellars, this Chenin Blanc is made from organically farmed grapes, harvested on the third-generation family farm, Dyason s Rock that is situated a mere 25km outside the Northern Cape town of Upington.
Legend has it that the spirit of British Officer William W Dyason stands guard over the vineyard, in the shadow of the moon atop the 12-meter high rock formation found on this organic farm. It is here that Dyason drew his last breath as he was shot and killed in the line of duty in a skirmish during the Northern Border Rebellion of 1879.
As he takes his guard at night, the shy but hardworking Hedgehog forage the vineyards, at a time when the air is cool and the vines do their work of producing the best quality fruit for picking. The Kalahari desert, with its arid climate, provide the perfect conditions for the cultivation of organic wine with very little need for human intervention.
The newest addition to the Hedgehog family, the Organic Chenin Blanc, originates from a 10.5ha block next to the mighty Orange River. The love and care with which these grapes were treated are evident with every lingering sip of this delectable wine. A medium-bodied tropical Chenin Blanc with an abundance of litchi, pear and guava flavours and well integrated acid. The wine has a good structure and a silky mouthfeel that lingers well beyond the last sip. Serve chilled.
