Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc

Being a wine with vibrant fruit it will pair well with fresh salads, light pasta dishes and grilled seafood, such as line fish and will accompany calamari and scallops very well.

2019 was an excellent vintage for many producers in Stellenbosch. The Winter and the ripening season was cooler than the previous three vintages. This led to grapes ripening at lower sugar levels with higher natural acidities. the lower temperatures also preserved the more delicate flavour components in the Chenin Blanc during the ripening period.

This wine is made with grapes from two Chenin Blanc vineyards on the Dornier farm. Each batch was individually fermented in stainless steel for approximately 14 days at low temperatures. Flavour and style specific yeast were used in order to obtain the desired fruit and aroma characteristics.
