We were delighted recently to be offered some rare older vintages of Wade Metzer’s single vineyard Chenin Blancs. These wines were shipped specially for us direct from South Africa from library stock at Metzer.  

Wade Metzer's winemaking philosophy centres on his unwavering respect for the fruit. He adheres to non-interventionist principles, employing no mechanical interventions, utilizing indigenous yeasts, and avoiding fining or filtration. Sourcing grapes from various Old Vine Certified blocks in Stellenbosch, Wade has earned a reputation for crafting some of South Africa's finest wines.

This set of 3 bottles includes:

.Metzer Montane Chenin Blanc 2017

Metzer Montane Chenin Blanc 2018

Metzer Maritime Chenin Blanc 2019

Montane

This wine, one of Wade Metzer's two single-site Old Vine Chenin Blancs, originates from vines planted in 1964 on the Helderberg foothills. Despite the same winemaking processes , each wine showcases unique stylistic differences that reflect its specific terroir. Grapes are harvested in the early morning to preserve fruit integrity, followed by gentle pressing and brief skin contact. The juice ferments in old oak barrels for 9 months on lees without stirring. 

Maritime

His Maritime Chenin was planted in 1980 near False Bay. It highlights the unique Maritime terroir through distinct stylistic differences despite the same winemaking processes as his Montane Chenin.
