Tasting Note

The nose opens with aromas of white peach, quince, honey, and orange blossom. The palate is rich and creamy, layered with stone fruit and citrus, balanced by zesty acidity and a crisp, mineral finish. A complex, textural Chenin Blanc shaped by old vines, lees ageing, and foudre fermentation.

Product Notes

A.A. Badenhorst's Grensloos Chenin Blanc wine is a true South African treasure, combining outstanding quality and exquisite taste. Aromatic and radiant, it presents a clear straw hue, emitting luscious notes of peach, ripe apple, and tropical fruits. The palate follows the nose, with a crisp texture countered with extended lees ageing, yielding a complex richness. A profound minerality lends an unusual freshness, achieving a harmonious blend of flavours. Moreover, this wine's concentration and length with its high acidity announce its potential for significant ageing. A captivating Chenin Blanc, it's a perfect companion for a refined dining experience.
