Chenin Blanc, Western Cape, 20L Key Keg 2024

South Africa, South Africa

Chenin Blanc (100%) · 2024 · 12% abv

Zippy citrus aromas with soft, delicate apple fruit on the palate balanced by crisp acidity. Extended lees contact gives this great value wine some real weight and character, a little wild yeast ferment in barrel adds texture and finesse too.

Production

Produced from only free run juice, part of the blend is naturally fermented and a tiny percentage in old barrels. The wine is left on fine lees for an extended period for greater palate weight and mouthfeel.

Vinyard

Sourced from old bush vines from Paarl and Drakenstein. No irrigation is used in the vineyards and very little crop control is needed due to the age of the vines naturally restricting yield. All grapes are harvested by hand

Pairing

A great partner to grilled fish, chicken and salads. Wonderful with Cape Malay curries, spicy mango
salads and brightly flavoured pan-Asian cuisine.
