Bloemcool Ploegperd 2023 is an elegant old-vine white blend from Piekenierskloof. Chenin Blanc, Palomino and Grenache Blanc combine to create a fresh, mineral and expressive wine with depth and purity.
Serve with seafood, grilled prawns, lemon-herb chicken, creamy pastas or soft cheeses. Its freshness suits summer dishes and vibrant flavours.
Bright straw in colour. Aromas of straw, stone fruit and gentle herbal fynbos rise from the glass. The palate is fresh with minerality and acidity, layered with subtle oak, leesy complexity and yellow fruit. Bone-dry finish. Refined, textural and built to age gracefully.
The Bloemcool Ploegperd 2023 draws its character from old Piekenierskloof vineyards, where Chenin Blanc, Palomino and Grenache Blanc grow in a cool, high-altitude climate. These vines are some of the oldest in South Africa, with the Palomino planted in 1974 and the Chenin in 1973. The Grenache Blanc block, now 27 years old, is also the oldest of its kind in the country.
The grapes were handpicked early and whole-bunch pressed before natural fermentation in older barrels, clay amphora and stainless steel. The simple winemaking aims to keep the purity and texture of these old vines intact.
The wine is fresh and mineral with layers of stone fruit, yellow fruit and gentle fynbos. Subtle oak and leesy richness add depth, finishing bone dry and refined.
A hidden secret; outstanding old-vine blend.
