Variety: Chenin Blanc
Origin: Darling

The San people were the indigenous tribe that first walked the hills of Darling. Hannuwa is the San (Bushman) word suggesting the gathering of good fortune through living in sustainable harmony with nature. This Chenin Blanc is made in an Amphora clay pot taking winemaking back to its roots and adding a well-rounded, delicate profile to our already famous Darling Chenin Blanc. Unfiltered and unrefined, this is as true to nature as can be.
