Product Notes

Stellenrust Chenin Blanc is an exquisite, South African white wine of unparalleled grace. Originating from Stellenbosch, its luminous straw hue gives way to lush layers of fresh pear, peach, and apple, topped with a hint of honey for a unique, fruity experience. This full-bodied wine is expertly balanced, intermingling sweet fruit aromas with an undercurrent of crisp acidity. Its distinctive wild yeast fermentation provides a broad, creamy palate, while ensuring a refined elegance. With its lingering finish, Stellenrust Chenin Blanc serves as a delightful accompaniment to light dishes, or can be simply savoured as a standalone treat.

Tasting Notes

This Chenin Blanc shows elements of soft vanilla oak notes on the nose, alongside tropical fruits with an mineral palate of grape fruit and peardrop.
