Chenin Blanc has usurped Chardonnay as South Africa's signature white varietal, and this is a very fine, fruit-filled bottling from the Western Cape.
With crisp orchard fruit, hints of mango and a whole load of drinkability, this is a great choice for any occasion that requires a chilled white.
This is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed chilled by the glass on its own, paired with nibbles as an aperitif or served with a roast chicken salad.

This is a lively fruit-filled Chenin Blanc, crafted from top-quality grapes harvested at optimal ripeness to deliver maximum impact in the glass. A delicious mixture of crisp orchard fruit with juicier tropical notes adding a bit of weight, all kept in check by lovely racy natural freshness. Working with exceptional fruit and a top-class winemaking team, we've created a complex, high-end Cape white packed with flavour and a perfectly balanced finish.
