Description

Brimming with Stellenbosch sunshine, this 2025 Chenin Blanc delivers a lively medley of white peach, green apple, and a burst of lemon zest. Its vibrant acidity and crisp minerality provide structure and freshness, while the fruit-forward palate leads to a clean, lingering finish. Balanced, expressive, and beautifully crafted, this wine captures the finesse of South African Chenin Blanc. Ideal for seafood, salads, or sipping solo on warm afternoons.
Handpicked from select vineyards, our 2025 Chenin Blanc was gently de-stemmed, pressed, and cold-fermented in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit purity. A six-month lees contact adds subtle creaminess and depth, enhancing freshness and finesse. This careful balance of purity and texture brings out the true elegance of Stellenbosch Chenin.
