Region:
Swartland, South Africa
Grape Variety:
Chenin Blanc (100%)
Tasting Notes:
A good example of what old vines are capable of. The wine delivers rich, honeyed stonefruit aromas and flavour – but all that is matched and toned with a citrus or lime leaf nuance and well-judged acidity. The mouthfeel is impressive: focussed, compact, with a pithy lemon cream appeal and distinct body and presence. That texture on the mid-palate is beautiful and matches the poised acid and fruit. Harmonious and long with a well-resolved dry finish.
This enticing wine, made from Chenin blanc grapes, celebrates Nederburg’s founder, Philippus Wolvaart, who established the Nederburg farm in 1791. Various winemaking techniques were used to create a lively, rich and layered food-friendly wine full of character. A touch of sweetness balances the heat of spicy Asian dishes.
