2021 Vinum Chenin Blanc
2021 Vinum Chenin Blanc
ABV: 12.0%
Grapes: 100% Chenin Blanc
From: Stellenbosch, South Africa
Scents of citrus fruits and cinnamon. The palate suggests fresh lime and a dusting of sweet spices underscored by an intensity of persistent tropical fruit notes and a steely acidity. The finish is lingering with mineral notes.
Could work for an unoaked Chardonnay fan or even someone who usually goes for a French Sauvignon Blanc.
The Vinum vineyards are composed of selected sites in the Stellenbosch region, from prime parcels on the Helderberg Mountain and in Devon Valley. These sites offer excellent mineral soils, southerly exposure and healthy, mature vines, all of which combine with the cool maritime breezes to bestow on these vineyards the ideal environment for excellent grape development.
Serve chilled. Allow 2 to 3 hours to cool in the fridge. Good with fried fish but also a great white BBQ option.
