Description
Fresh and vibrant, this unwooded Chenin Blanc brims with tropical aromas of guava, white pear, and passion fruit that glide effortlessly onto the palate. Its zesty acidity balances the ripe fruit, delivering a clean, refreshing finish that lingers just long enough to tempt another sip. Perfect for sunlit lunches by the sea or paired with seafood, grilled chicken, or salads with apple or pear, it’s a versatile, easy-drinking wine with charm to spare. Diemersfontein Chenin Blanc 2024 brings out the joy in simplicity.
We harvested the grapes in two passes to capture both bright acidity and ripe tropical fruit. After destemming and a gentle crush, the juice soaked on the skins for two hours to build texture and flavor. A cool fermentation at 13°C over three weeks preserved the wine’s freshness and aromatics. Post-fermentation, it was racked off the lees and prepped for bottling—pure, expressive, and crafted with care for everyday enjoyment.
