This wine is very special, not only for Laibach, but also for the whole of the South African wine industry. It is the only sweet natural wine made in this style from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes. The idea started about 4 years ago when, before harvest, we tasted a few sweet wines from the Northern Hemisphere. It was remarkable how these wines were so well balanced with moderate alcohol and yet great sugar to acid ratios. Completely different to any sweet wine of South Africa. The 2005 vintage for white wines was not easy. At one stage, after heavy rainfalls in January, we did not expect to get quality high sugar grapes. The grapes for this wine came from a single vineyard block about 20 years old. Not very vigorous, it produced perfect little super-ripe berries with no botrytis. The grapes were picked in the early morning, de-stemmed, crushed and very gently pressed. Fermentation lasted about 4 5 days and as soon as the sweet spot (perfect balance between alcohol, sugar and acid) was reached it was stopped. The wine was bottled in April. It has a lovely bouquet of concentrated white peach, sweet winter melon and pineapple flavours. The nose is really showy, complex and you can almost smell the balance in the wine. Juicy fruit salad on the palette with wonderful acid-sugar ratio. The wine is best enjoyed very cold, can be served with starters, but will also complement lovely fresh dessert dishes. Nobody will ever know how it will age, because it usually doesnt last too long in the cellar!

| O Winnicy | "The history of this wine farm can be traced back until the year of 1818. Originally named Good Success", owned by Daniel Johannes van Ryneveld from Amsterdam (Netherlands), this vast farm extended to most of the catchment area in the valley enclosed by the Simonsberg, Kanonkop and Klapmutsberg. Later on it was divided into three farms: Warwick, De Goede Suces and the remainder of the farm Good Success, which was from 1895 until 1994 in the possession of the du Plessis family, until it was taken over by the Laibach family. Until the 1995 harvest the prized grapes of this 50 hectare Estate, situated in the Muldersvlei Bowl, one of the prime red wine areas of South Africa, were sold in bulk to Nederburg in Paarl. The Good Success Farm was actually one of the oldest suppliers of Nederburg with grapes.Since 1994 we have built up a new state of the art cellar with a capacity of 300 tons including an underground wood maturation cellar, unique in shape at the Cape. From the farm and the jetty of the winery you have a magnificent view over the vineyards on Table Mountain from the slopes of the Simonsberg. " |
