Description
The Boschendal 1685 Chenin Blanc 2022 presents a bright, pale straw color with hints of green. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, complemented by notes of tropical fruits like pineapple and guava. There are also subtle hints of citrus blossom and honey, adding complexity. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with a creamy texture. Flavors of ripe pear, melon, and nectarine are balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a clean, crisp finish with lingering notes of citrus zest and a touch of minerality.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is an excellent match for seafood such as grilled fish, prawns, and scallops. It also complements poultry dishes like roast chicken or turkey, as well as creamy pasta dishes and risottos. The wine’s balanced acidity makes it a great partner for dishes with a hint of spice, such as Thai or Indian cuisine. Soft cheeses like brie, camembert, and goat cheese also pair nicely, highlighting the wine’s fruit flavors and acidity.
