The Platinum range presents the finest barrels of wine from our cellar. It represents the soul and character of Lyngrove and express classic structure and exceptional ageing potential. 

VINEYARD: 

This 3ha of old bush vines were planted in 1980 and is drip-irrigated to ensure optimal conditions for ripening. It’s planted on soils consisting of weathered granite on clay, with a north facing slope. The nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) also has a cooling effect on the vineyards during the ripening season. 

GROWING SEASON AND HARVEST:

Stellenbosch had another good winter with sufficient rain and cold for the vines to rest and build up reserves before the start of bud towards September. Cool and mild weather conditions prevailed until end Feb, which pushed the start of harvest out by 14days to the norm. Vineyard stress were minimal and fewer irrigation cycles was needed. End of Feb and through Apr there were a few hot spells broken up by cool days in between. These conditions led to cultivars ripen on their own time. Harvest only finished mid-April and crop yields were normal with the later varietals (Cab/Shiraz) down by 20%. Wine quality was very good overall.  

VINIFICATION:

Grapes were handpicked end-February, brought to the cellar crisp and cold, followed by a light whole-bunch pressing only extracting the finest free-run juice for vinification. Juice cold settled for 48 hours, racked with some fine lees to older 300Ltr French oak barrels were fermentation commenced. Fermentation temperature was controlled between 16-22°C and was completed after 12days. The wine was kept on the lees in barrel and stirred weekly to gain extra complexity and mouth feel for a total of 9 months until bottling. 

TASTING NOTES:

This old vine Chenin Blanc with its pale straw color show layers of apple, yellow peach, pineapple and sweet melon on the nose, with hints of vanilla, apricot and fresh ginger. The palate is a luscious fruit salad with creamy texture and structure that lingers in a lemon zest finish.       

SERVING:

Enjoy this wine chilled (10-12°C). Pairs well with matured brie or camembert cheese topped with roasted nuts and chili jam.  Also, rich and creamy fish or chicken dishes or slow roasted pork belly draped with apple glaze.
