Laurens Campher Blended White 2021

For all its freshness, elegance and focus, the wine’s flavours are complex and intense, ranging from bright lemon, fresh pineapple, apricots and juicy nectarine to more concentrated lime marmalade as well as caramel and cream.

At Muratie we implement various vineyard practices during and after the growing season to ensure optimal growth and yield. Practices include green pruning, fertilisation after the growing season and the growing of cover crops during the winter months. This wine is made from meticulously sourced grapes from different sites and slopes. Vineyards vary in age from 10 – 15 years old.

Medium bodied, with a sturdy backbone, this uniquely South African white blend is made in Campher’s honour, combining predominantly Chenin Blanc (45 %) with smaller amounts of Sauvignon Blanc (32 %), Verdehlo (19%), and Viognier (4%).

Components were vinified separately, then meticulously blended after judicious oaking in a combination of new and older 500 L French Oak barrels (11 months). 30% underwent MLF ensuring a softer acidity - it’s truly a labour of love.
