Chenin Blanc is perhaps best known for the work it has done in the Loire, but Chenin is the signature white grape of South Africa where it has been long known as 'Steen' and has been produced in South Africa since the 1600s. You can expect to discover a ripe wine with impressive tropical fruit flavours and a fine mineral tone. This wine is typically fresh and lively with an underlying spice character. |
