Pale lemon color with aromas of white fruits, citrus, herbs and flinty aromas. On the palate flavors of pear, peach and lemon citrus, lively acidity. Medium finish ending creamy with mineral, herb and citrus honey character. Drink now!

Smells buttery. Tastes really good. Light. Tastes like a non-tropical fruit- maybe apricot or pear or peach. Would get again.

Blaauwklippen Chenin Blanc 2024
Stellenbosch, South Africa 🇿🇦

Overview
Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, this is a fresh and expressive take from one of Stellenbosch’s historic estates, Blaauwklippen. Known for championing South Africa’s flagship white grape, this wine highlights both fruit purity and terroir-driven minerality.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright and aromatic, with notes of ripe pear, white peach, citrus blossom, and green apple, alongside hints of tropical fruit like guava and pineapple. Subtle touches of honey and wild herbs linger in the background.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with crisp acidity, offering a refreshing, juicy texture. Clean and mineral-driven on the finish, leaving a lively, zesty impression.

Winemaking Notes
Harvested from prime Stellenbosch vineyards and vinified in stainless steel to preserve vibrancy, with a small portion aged on the lees for texture and complexity.

Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled prawns, mussels in garlic broth, roast chicken, goat cheese, or fresh salads with citrus dressing. Also a great casual sip on warm summer days.

Verdict
A classic Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc—bright, zesty, and approachable while still showing depth. A brilliant value that showcases why South Africa continues to lead the way with Chenin.
