Maanschijn - Herbarium White (2024)

Four varieties make up this Cape White blend: Sauvignon blanc, Chenin blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay. The vineyards, all located in the southern, cooler Walker Bay wine district, are surrounded by the rich expanse of the Cape’s fynbos kingdom.

The fruit was pressed, settled and racked to aged French oak casks. Fermentation occurred spontaneously, with maturation lasting ten months, on fine lees. The wine was then blended and bottled, sans fining.

About the winemakers:

Paul Hoogwerf and Douglas Myrlea of Maanschijn are passionate about sustainable viticulture and letting the land speak through their wines. Their relaxed approach emphasizes harmony with the soil, capturing Walker Bay’s essence in every bottle.
