A barrel fermented wine with a legacy set by our forefathers. The number on the bottle refers to the age of the Chenin Blanc vines in the year the wine was made. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness and the juice allowed to ferment with wild yeast in selected barrels over a 9 month maturing period. This wine has a ripe tropical bouquet with hints of thatch and vanilla. A lingering finish with pear and butterscotch on the palate.

Zonnebloem sources the best grapes from growers in the historic Stellenbosch region to create its range of critically acclaimed wines, combining time-honoured traditions with state of the art techniques to produce well-structured classic wines that exemplify the craft of winemaking.

Style:  Elegand with fresh citrus notes, a hint of minerality and oak, ending in a creamy finish.

Serve:  Chillied - enjoy on its own or with cheeses, fish and white meats.

Vondeling, meaning "foundling", was originally granted to Swedish Immigrant Olaf Bergh in 1704.  Ecologically sensitive farming practices and a minimalist approach in the wine making process ensure our wines epress the uniwque terroir of the Voor Paardeberg.

A refreshing wine with exotic rose petals, pomegranate and tropical fruit on the nose with lovely freshness and vibrancy on the palate.
