Meaning 'hill of shale', Skaliekop is an anomaly in the granite-dominated Paardeberg. Planted in 1985, the vineyard is north-facing so is picked early.

Of David & Nadia's three single-vineyard Chenins, this is definitely the more elegant expression. It has rich apple and spice notes, with some cream lurking in the background. It's textured and waxy, round but structured, with fairly gentle acidity and some stone fruit sweetness.

1,295 bottles produced.
