Vintage Report

De jaargang 2024 in de Westkaap, Zuid-Afrika, kende gunstige weersomstandigheden die resulteerden in een goede oogstkwaliteit en gezonde druiven. Dit heeft geleid tot wijnen met een mooie balans tussen rijp fruit en frisse zuren.

Our Review

An absolute crowd-pleaser for me and my guests! What makes this Chenin Blanc truly unique and surprising is the subtle, gentle taste of honey. That rich note is perfectly balanced with the grape's characteristic fresh acidity. A deliciously juicy, approachable white wine with a surprising twist that always goes down well and is easy to drink.
