Chenin Blanc

"A perennial Loire favorite. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, this off-dry wine pairs well with shellfish. What a value!" ~Winery Notes

Chenin Blanc Brilliant clear yellow. Seductive nose with lovely fruit aromas (pear, pineapple) and delicate floral notes. Smooth on the palate with a nice refreshing finish. To be enjoyed as an aperitif or with smoked fish, Asian dishes, creamy cheese. Best served between 8°C and 10°C / 46°F and 50°F. Vegan friendly.

A wine that’s as beautiful as Cape Town itself. 100% handpicked Chenin Blanc grown in South Africa’s famous Swartland region. Made using a blend of grapes that come from a diverse collection of Swartland soils, with each piece of land putting its own mark on the final product. Made for those warm sunny days that don’t seem to end.

Indaba Chenin Blanc?begins with pleasant and even complex aromas of lime, melon, guava and other tropical fruit plus a little granny smith apple. Tasting this medium-bodied wine reveals a thick and luscious mouthfeel with crisp and clean flavors of zesty citrus and melon, nice minerality and even a bit of spice. The crisp and clean theme continues on the lingering finish.?

As has become one of the signatures of Mulderbosch winemaking, we began the 2019 harvest as early as possible in order to harness the natural acidity that is so central to the character and freshness of Chenin Blanc.The palate has lively acidity, balanced by a firm, pithy texture central to Chenin Blanc’s character. There are unmistakable citrus notes, offset by creamy lees making this a deliciously moreish wine.

A fresh and round mouth feel with intense fruity notes of nectarine, gooseberry and pine with a bright, clean finish. A versatile wine to enjoy with spicy ethnic foods from Chinese to Indian. Also great as an aperitif. Serve chilled.

Made by J. M. Monmousseau, one of the most important sparkling wine producers in the Loire Valley of France, this is a blend of 70% Chenin Blanc and 30% Chardonnay given 18 months on lees in the traditional method. Refined in mousse and effervescence, this excellent dry sparkling has almond, citrus and pear flavours, a subtle richness and a soft refreshing finish. The ‘Brut Etoile’ is indeed a ‘star’ sparkling wine that everyone will enjoy, especially as an aperitif.

Fruit forward and fresh. Typical Chenin Blanc aromas and flavours of baked apple and tropical fruits. There is a chalky character that seems to be typical from these vineyards in most vintages. A dry white wine for any occasion, with or without food.

This is an enjoyable, easy to drink Chenin Blanc coming from several different plots averaging 45 years. Soil is dominated by shale. Vinification process: skin maceration for 24 hours, prefermentary operations under an inert gas environment (CO2), following by low-temperature vinification (14-15°C) in order to preserve the full aroma of the grape. Maturing on fine lees for three months to develop its fatness and roundness. Wine and food pairing: During the vinification process, we have chosen to focus on the freshness and fruitiness, that is why the dry Anjou will suit perfectly with your fish and shellfish dishes. It can also pair well with your appetizers.

In regards to Chenin Blanc 2017 was a change of pace a bit. Prior to harvest I arranged a lease of a vineyard with one acre of Chenin Blanc. Even though the lease didn’t go into effect until Jan. 2018 we were able to purchase the 2017 crop. In addition to this new site, Tres Hermanas Vineyard off Foxen Canyon Rd., we also purchased Chenin from two other sites in the area to do our best to showcase the regional character of the grape through our hands. Typical of all our white wine making, we pressed the juice to tank for 24 hours to settle out the heaviest of sediment before being racked to mostly neutral oak with a few stainless barrels for fermentation and aging. The wine was gently racked twice prior blending to clarify the wine as best as possible. It was bottled after 7 months aging without any fining or filtration. Minimal amounts of sulfur were added after the completion of ML and prior to bottling.

This Brut Cuvee “T” 2014 from Domaine Vincent Careme was made using the traditional sparkling wine method with a second fermentation in the bottle. Fresh and delicious, it’s a perfect wine for summer sipping. Notes of citrus and apple are prevalent and the wine is effervescent and fresh with what the winery’s owners, Vincent and Tania, call “racy” acidity.

The Unorthodox Chenin Blanc is light straw in color with aromas of tropical pineapple, passion fruit and melon flavors on the nose that follow through on the palate. This crisp wine is well balanced and displays nice acidity, and will complement fish and chicken dishes.
