Made from a small, very old Helderberg vineyard; Muscat de Alexandria (the real name for Hanepoot). It was planted for its muscaty taste and was mainly used for eating and sometimes to make sweet, fortified wine. The vines are 60 years old and ripen at a very low sugar. So the wine is dry at a very low alcohol of 12%. Wine of Origin Stellenbosch, the muscaty floral nose and palate calls for some spicy dishes. Some Indian curry I would say. And the label I did as a Linocut, the “poot" (foot) of a “haan” (male chicken). And that is where the grape got his nickname from, the loose bunches looks like the foot of a chicken.
