There are many parallels that can be drawn between women and wolves. Loyal, protective, wild and beautiful, both know the unknowable and sense the unseen. This range of wines is inspired  by the fierce, untamed nature of these glorious creatures - and Clarissa Pinkola Estés, who first put it into words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWOLF \u0026amp; WOMAN WINES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wolfandwomanwines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Wolf \u0026amp; Woman Wines\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wolf-woman-swartland-chenin-blanc","title":"Wolf \u0026 Woman Chenin Blanc 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrapes for the Wolf \u0026amp; Woman Chenin Blanc are sourced from old, dry-farmed bush vines grown on two separate Swartland sites. The first is a decomposed Granite vineyard in the Paardeberg, bringing a fine grained minerality and freshness, the second from iron rich red soils just outside of Malmesbury which adds weight, fruit and texture. In the cellar, Jolandie allows the wines to spontaneously ferment before ageing in old French oak and then blending and bottling. As a result of the natural winemaking process, a harmless sediment may occur. Beautiful clear cut flavours of white peach, stone fruits and subtle wild herbs carry this understated, subtly spiced Swartland Chenin Blanc. The taste is rich in fruit, it has wonderful texture and a fresh but balanced acidity.

All of the grapes were hand-picked separately, packed in crates, and rested in a cold room for 24 hours. Bunch sorting was done the next day, after which the grapes were transferred to open-top fermenters (100% whole bunch) where it cold-soaked for 3 days before natural fermentation started, supported by two to three punch-downs per day to promote extraction. The wine spent a total of 16 days on the skins before being lightly pressed. After this, 60% of the juice went to 500L old-oak barrels and 40% matured in concrete. The vintage was then allowed to mature for 10 months before it was racked, blended, and bottled. Deep ruby in colour the Wolf \u0026amp; Woman Syrah displays aromas of red and black fruit, fynbos, spice and dark pepper.
