20 years ago, experts told the good people at Kenya Nut Company they couldn’t grow grapes in this part of the world. They decided to prove them wrong, so they planted a vineyard at Morendat. Lying along the equator, the grapes enjoy the warmth of the invigorating sun. Temperatures range from a cool 6° to a tropical 32° Celsius, and annual rainfall is 500 to 600mm. This equatorial climate allows each grape to mature and ripen slowly, patiently developing every nuance of its fine fruity taste.
Winemaker’s notes
Over the years, our Sauvignon Blanc has become our flagship, the jewel of our wine stable. Its crisp, off-dry palate hints at tropical fruit flavours such as passion fruit and grape fruit. Like many white wines, it favours white meats, and is ideal when chilled well and paired with seafood, chicken, paella or pasta. Still, even the greatest nobles bear new generations, and our white grapes do have some mildly tanned offspring.
