Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Joostenberg is a 5th generation family business situated in the Muldersvlei district of Stellenbosch. Clear pale lemon color with clean youthful aromas of stone and spicy citrus fruits. On the palate this dry Chenin shows flavors of apple, pear, orange zest and peach with notes of herbs and wet stone. Medium+ finish ending with white pepper notes. Great value. Drink now no bottle age

Tart, tropical, crisp. Perfect for a sunny afternoon. Clean finish. 2016 was a year of extreme drought in South Africa. Low yield, but healthy flavorful grapes.

Wasn’t my favorite at first taste. Much better with spicy food.

SA Chenin has something either unique or different. I'll have to dive into more and see where that leads. This was bombastic mineral.
