2025 Fifth Post – Chenin Blanc 

This Chenin is a medley of tropical fruit with underlying hints of vanilla and almond. It is a beautifully balanced wine with layers of complexity as the oak component builds the roundness of the wine. Good for drinking now, but will continue to evolve with a bit of aging.

Cultivar
100% Chenin Blanc

Wine of Origin
Piekenierskloof

In the cellar
The grapes were whole bunch pressed and left to settle at 14’C. It was then racked and left to warm up slightly for yeast inoculation. Fermented at low temperature in barrel and left on fine lees for mouthfeel and flavour development.

Food suggestions
With its grippy tannins the wine can be enjoyed with a well-prepared oxtail casserole or Braised Lamb shanks
