This is fruit filled unwooded Chenin Blanc. The 2023 vintage produced very healthy grapes full of flavour and great intensity. It is a delicious example of cooler climate Chenin Blanc fermented in concrete and stainless-steel tanks using a combination of cultured and natural yeasts. Matured after fermentation on the lees to add some extra weight and complexity to the wine.
Early picking to preserve freshness, and balance in the wine. The new press produced gave a very clean juice. This has had a very positive effect on this vintage. Long slow fermentation.

Beaumont is situated on the western side of the Bot River Valley, 8 km from the ocean. The property surrounds the town of Bot River. The vineyards are planted on ancient shale soils with beautiful gravelly top soils that have a heavy clay base and are great for moisture storage. These low vigor soils have been producing wines for the past 80 – 100 years. The property dates back to the 1750’s when it was primarily an outpost farm for travelers to rest and replenish stocks. At the turn of the previous century the first wines were made in what is now a historical winery using modern wine making techniques to produce elegant, complex wines that capture the essence of the property and the region.
