Chenin Blanc 2024

Bright and clear in the glass with a luminous medium-gold hue, the 2024 Eenzaamheid Chenin Blanc opens with a wonderfully expressive bouquet. Aromas of beeswax, lemon rind and ripe peach unfold beautifully, layered with yellow apple and a subtle touch of vanilla and oak spice. The palate is rich and structured, yet beautifully lifted by the wine’s natural bright acidity, seamlessly integrated with both fruit and oak. A kaleidoscope of flavours reveals itself through the mid-palate – baked apple, vibrant yellow citrus and hints of dried pineapple – creating both depth and intrigue. Coherent and finely balanced, the wine shows impressive complexity, with supple fruit supported by a well-judged oak influence that complements rather than overwhelms. Lingering notes of lemon curd and gentle oak spice carry through to a refined, persistent finish.

A beautifully crafted expression of South African Chenin Blanc, showcasing the varietal’s hallmark richness, texture and freshness with precision and elegance.

Serve with butter-poached crayfish, roast chicken with thyme & caramelised onions, seared line fish with a citrus beurre blanc sauce, pork belly with apple compote or cider glaze, or mature Brie or Camembert with toasted brioche.
