Description
False Bay "Slow" Chenin Blanc, Coastal Region, South Africa, 2023
Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc, unoaked
The long wild yeast ferment provides bready aromas and additional complexity to the wine. Dried herbaceous notes, including fennel and aniseed from the nearby Fynbos, dominate the nose, followed by a creamy lemon character. The palate is reminiscent of the nose, with great textural complexity (attributable to the long, slow wild yeast fermentation), and more herbal characters.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Youthful pear, quince and guava fruits with a hint of smoke. Oily textured palate lifted by crisp acidity with a flinty finish."
92/100 points, DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS, 2024
"A complex Chenin Blanc that I would like to describe as fresh, soft and elegant. The nose is welcoming with prominent hints of stone fruits such as white pears and apricots and also showing hints of honey. The taste is round and smooth, finishing with slight acids that give the wine a beautiful structure and length."
Gold Medal, Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, 2024
A versatile wine equally well suited to partner lobster and other seafood, risotto or herb roast chicken. Can also handle spice very well.
