Hailing from the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands, this Chenin Blanc is a testament to the expertise of the Malan family, pioneers of South African winemaking. Crafted from grapes grown in the region's unique terroir, it showcases the vibrancy and character that have made South African Chenin Blanc a favourite amongst wine enthusiasts.
Aromas of ripe pear, yellow peach, melon, and a hint of tropical fruit burst from the glass, along with delicate floral notes. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, with juicy stone fruit flavours leading the way. Hints of pineapple, citrus, and a touch of honey add complexity. Balanced acidity provides a refreshing backbone, making this wine exceptionally food-friendly. The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering notes of pear and citrus.
