Some of the older Chenin Blanc vineyards were selected to be harvested for this wine. The older Chenin Blanc vineyards normally, over time, reach a natural balance between crop level and canopy size. Vineyards selected for this wine are some of the less vigorous growing Chenin Blancs with an open canopy that allows enough diffused sunlight into the canopy. This diffused sunlight enhances the development of the tropical flavours of this wine.
