🌟 A textured and expressive Chenin Blanc from the cool slopes of Breedekloof—vibrant, mineral, and brimming with South African character.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with golden glints—bright and lively with a subtle richness.
👃 On the Nose:
Elegant and aromatic with notes of yellow apple, quince, pear, and ripe citrus, layered with wild herbs, subtle honeycomb, and a gentle stony minerality.
👅 On the Palate:
Fresh and focused, combining zesty acidity with a beautifully creamy texture. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and white peach are underscored by hints of lanolin, wet stone, and a savoury salinity. Balanced, complex, and refreshingly long on the finish.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Versatile and food-friendly—pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, seafood tagine, creamy pasta, or goat cheese salad. Its layered texture also complements spiced or herbed dishes.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now, but has the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years, developing more complexity and honeyed richness.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Olifantsberg’s Chenin Blanc is a standout example of the variety’s potential in South Africa—pure, precise, and thoughtfully crafted. With its balance of freshness and depth, it’s a wine that offers both serious quality and irresistible charm, perfect for both sipping and savouring.
