Description
Chenin Blanc is perhaps best known for the work it has done in the Loire, but Chenin is the signature white grape of South Africa where it has been long known as 'Steen' and has been produced in South Africa since the 1600s. You can expect to discover a ripe wine with impressive tropical fruit flavours and a fine mineral tone. This wine is typically fresh and lively with an underlying spice character.

Tasting Notes
Ripe tropical fruit aromas with pears, citrus and a beautifully delineated stony mineral component. Fresh, zesty and brilliantly mouthwatering. The palate offers up nice pear, pineapple, citrus and stone with a really appealing spicy complexity. Mouthfilling and textured, with good balance and character. (VINTAGES panel, Nov. 2015)
