Pale gold in the glass with a glimmer of green highlights. The nose bursts with aromas of quince, white peach, ripe pear, and citrus blossom, supported by hints of wet stone and almond cream. On the palate, it is textured and vibrant, offering a rich mid-palate of stone fruit, lemon zest, and subtle spice, balanced by crisp acidity. Gentle oak aging brings nuances of brioche and hazelnut, adding depth without overpowering the fruit purity.
The finish is long and mineral-driven, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and chalky finesse.
Boer Maak ’n Plan — “the farmer makes a plan” — is a spirited celebration of South African resilience and creativity. Crafted from high-altitude, dry-farmed Chenin Blanc, it offers layers of freshness, texture, and terroir expression. Lively yet elegant, it’s a wine that resonates with both casual drinkers and fine-wine collectors, making it a versatile addition to any cellar or occasion.
