Bright, fresh, and full of personality, the Vrede en Lust White Mischief 2024 is a beautifully layered white blend from Elgin. Chenin Blanc lays the foundation with notes of ripe pear and apricot, while Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc lift the palate with lemon zest and grapefruit. Viognier brings a soft, peachy richness, and Weisser Riesling adds a refreshing edge of acidity. It’s vibrant, fruit-forward, and perfectly balanced—ideal for sunny afternoons, seafood feasts, or simply mischief well made.
Each variety in White Mischief is vinified separately to preserve its unique character. We handpick at peak ripeness, gently press, and ferment in stainless steel using selected yeasts to enhance aromatics and freshness. Lees aging adds texture and complexity, and the final blend is crafted with precision to capture the wine’s signature playful balance year after year.
