Chenin Blanc is one of the world’s most noble grape varieties, and this expressive gem from the stunning Cape winelands of South Africa is liquid proof. From a 50 year-old single vineyard in the lofty heights of the Citrusdal Mountains, Chenin gets a respectful Burgundian treatment of whole-cluster pressing, a modicum of new French oak, and plenty of texture-building time on the lees before bottling. The result is focused lemony, peachy fruit, a creamy palate with nuanced oak toast and spice, sizzling acidity, and a long, food-embracing finish.
