In her words
This vibrant Chenin Blanc offers tropical fruit, honeyed texture, citrus freshness, and impressive depth for the price.
Chenin Blanc is a white wine grape variety that originates from the Loire Valley region of France, but it is now grown in many wine regions around the world including South Africa, where it has become the most planted white grape variety.
Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape that can produce a wide range of wine styles, from dry to sweet and both still and sparkling wines.
If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you'll probably like Chenin Blanc as these wines share some characteristics - both are dry styles of wine with high acidity and lots of fresh fruit flavours like apples and citrus.
Moving to the whites, chenin blanc is such a wonderful versatile grape from being the perfect day drinker with racy acidity and will cool you down on a hot day to the other end of the spectrum where it has been aged in French oak barrels and has become much more rounded and luscious as a result.
