This sublime bottling from Chenin master Bruwer Raats sets the standard for South African Chenin Blanc, consistently garnering 90+ scores from Wine Spectator. A portion of the wine is fermented and aged in barrel, resulting in a richer mouthfeel and a slightly creamy & caramelized tone to the ripe fruits and spice.
"The wine offers a complex nose showing quince, white peach and yellow apple, with fenugreek spices give more dimension alongside the mineral intensity of the wine. The stone fruit character follows through onto an exceptionally balanced, very delicate and fine textured palate showing a peach-melba character with an exquisite length and freshness. The wine lingers with hints of ripe nectarine and apricot, zesty lemon and wet chalk.
Pair with mussels; white fish with a beurre blanc sauce; spicy butternut squash soup; mild Indian curries." - WINERY NOTES
