Chenin Blanc 2023

Attractive aromas of bruised yellow apples, hay and a touch of beeswax. The palate displays a lovely richness, and a fleshy mid-palate texture as derived from the sur lie ageing process, while the fruit flavours are perfectly balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity. The oak component adds subtle interest in the background. Lengthy flavours of baked apple pie and winter melon linger on the finish. Our Chenin Blanc is known for its exceptional ageing potential and will reward careful cellaring for up to 10 years from vintage. Pair with roast chicken with herbs & lemon, pork tenderloin with apple compote, butternut risotto or pumpkin gnocchi.

AWARDS & RATINGS

• Gold – Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards 2025
• 92 points – Tim Atkin MW S.A. Report 2025 “Janno Briers-Louw’s impressive Chenin Blanc uses grapes from a dry-farmed parcel planted in 1985. Picked in five tranches to provide texture and what he calls a “jab of acidity”, this has a nice medley of greengage, citrus, nectarine and a sheen of 10% new wood spices.”
