About the wine
Delicate and complex little number from our man Johan
- My Old Vines Chenin Blanc comes from a very unique older vineyard, planted in 1977 on the Voorgroenberg Mountain in Wellington at around 400 meters above sea level.
- These older vines give lower yields, thus a big concentration and complexity of flavors with the decomposed granite soils adding deep mineral and fresh natural acid characters, making it a world class example of what Chenin Blanc can taste like.
- Granite, dusty minerality, quince, citrus, pineapple and herbs come together on a complex nose, with these flavours following through on the palate. The palate is fresh, delicate, yet powerful and rich all at the same time, in typical Old Vines style.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Johan Kruger
- When Johan started Kruger Family Wines in 2015, he’d just chucked in a safe Stellenbosch job to follow his dream. Money was tight so he could only rent a place to make his own wines, and was spending a ton of time on the road selling them. A total waste of his time and talent.
- Then we got a tip-off from South African legend Bruwer Raats. He said Johan was just the kind of insanely talented, up and coming winemaker Naked was born to champion. We signed him up, gave Angels access to his wines, and boom! It was love at first sight (on both sides).
- Angel support is helping Johan to plant new vineyards, expand his winery and kit it out with even bigger and better barrels, raising his whole operation. He’s been humbled, and truly gobsmacked, by all the love and support Angels have shown.

Tbh, I'm not a fan of whites in general but my partner likes them so I bought this to give it a try. Think it's expensive for what it is but it certainly packs a punch for a white at 13.5% ABV - a glass or two of it will hit the spot alright and that's about the best I can say about it.
My partner really likes it, however, so I've ordered a dozen bottles of the 2022 vintage and will certainly share a glass or two with her!

Not a very distinctive fragrance but very full on the palate - as suggested by the prominent 'legs'. Too expensive for what it is.

Lovely and crisp with a slightly buttery finish. Cuts through oily fish and would probably do well with pasta and a cream sauce.
