Drostdy-Hof is synonymous with quality and tradition in South Africa. With roots dating back to the historic Oude Drostdy building in the Tulbagh Valley, dating from 1804, the brand is a model of reliability and accessibility. Modern, smooth, and fruity, with a distinctly Cape identity, each bottle offers an authentic taste of the region's unique grape varieties. Visitors can explore the brand's deep wine history and enjoy tastings in the cellars of the Oude Drostdy building.
The Chenin Blanc grapes, known as "De Steen" in South Africa, are carefully hand-harvested from vineyards in the Porterville region. A cool fermentation at 13 degrees Celsius and careful malolactic fermentation preserve the wine's freshness and vibrant aromas. This process ensures that Drostdy Hof Chenin Blanc retains its characteristic freshness and fruitiness.
With aromas ranging from citrus and green apple to melon and white peach, Drostdy Hof Chenin Blanc promises an aromatic journey. The taste is typical of Chenin Blanc: fresh, fruity, and bursting with notes of white fruits like pear and apple, with hints of peach, melon, and ripe pineapple. This cheerful wine is ideal as a refreshing aperitif and also pairs beautifully with appetizers or light (lunch) dishes. A wine with its own character and style, Drostdy Hof Chenin Blanc is a perfect choice for those seeking a refreshing and fruity wine.
