Originating from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc is a versatile white wine grape variety. It is marked by its delightful balance of high acidity and refreshing flavour profiles. The wine produced from these grapes comes in several styles from sweet to dry or sparkling. Its bouquet exudes fresh apple, pear, and honey, with distinct mineral nuances. On the palate, notes of quince, apricot, and pineapple come alive. While young Chenin Blanc gives a fruity punch, aged versions develop rich, honeyed characteristics. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with diverse cuisines, a glass of Chenin Blanc promises a delightful experience.

Tasting Notes

The wine showcases a lovely lemon yellow in the glass. On the nose aromas of refreshing lime and lemon zest as well as star anise and a hint of clove. The palate gives way to invigorating notes of melon, kiwi, green apples and white peaches. The wine has a wonderful mouth feel with the acidity being in fantastic balance with the fruit, which leads to a fantastic length on the finish.
