Named after Rachelsfontein, a perennial spring on Boschendal, this fresh, fruity Chenin Blanc is the perfect partner for fine food and friends.

Single vineyard wine.

From a certified heritage vineyard planted in 1974, this old vine Chenin Blanc was hand harvestd.  The wine fermented and was matured for 12 months in handmade clay amphorae and old oak barrels.

The name Lycaon comes from the scientific name for the African wild dog, Lycaon Pictus, and is derived from the Greek word Lycos, meaning wolf.  The label illustration is from an 18th century book on adverturing and hunting in Southern Africa. 

This Pinotage Rosé wine was made from grapes harvested from 30-year old Pinotage bush vines, grown in the premium wine producing area of Stellenbosch. The brilliant deep colour of the wine results from the crushed grapes remaining in contact with their red skins for a period of 12 hours. This also gives greater depth and richness to the deliciously fresh red fruit flavours of Pinotage. A perfect summer drink, this bone dry wine is best served chilled and is an ideal accompaniment to cold meats, salads, tuna steaks and aromatic or spicy meat dishes.
