Marvellous Chenin Blanc
Posted by Ilona Roberts on
Summer holidays are always something to look forward to...why not try this Chenin Blanc while you make last minute plans. Selected from our specially curated Summer Selection Box.
Some South African Chenins are better than others, this won’t disappoint with rounded tropical fruit notes and a refreshing crispness - perfect for the summer. The grapes are harvested by hand from old vines in Paarl and Drakenstein. Once blended, the wine is left to ferment naturally, often on lees for an extended period to increase the flavours. Great value.
The Western Cape is a mountainous area bordering both the Indian and Atlantic oceans, and is home to the majority of the South African wine industry. Less than an hour from Cape Town, in the Winelands, the vibe is that of eating and drinking on gabled homesteads among the sunny vineyards.
