Stellenrust Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2020

Food pairing: The delicacy, yet richness of this wine, allows it to compliment a wide array of dishes. As it is not that heavily wooded, it can be enjoyed in summer time as a good alternative to Sauvignon Blanc – the morning sun carries good acidity and freshness in these wines. It can also be paired with more flamboyant food as foie gras or confit of duck. Tasting notes: The nose shows beautiful ripe yellow fruit supported by lime on the nose. These flavours carry forward to a palate of peach and apple, supported by refreshing acidity.

Vineyard planted in 1983 as traditional bush vine in maritime climate of the Bottelary Hills.
