Fleur Du Cap
Fleur du Cap (French for “Flower of the Cape”) is greatly inspired by the Cape Floral Kingdom – a wildflower region famed for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity – with each species blossoming in the specific soil and climate best suited to their needs. It is this Cape Floral Kingdom that has greatly inspired our wines to not be defined by a single place or vineyard. Our philosophy is based around the freedom to explore – to find our grapes where they grow best, rather than be constrained by district, farm, climate or even vineyard. Our winemakers have access to the widest geography of vineyards in South Africa. This unrestricted journey across the Cape Winelands is what allows them to craft highly-lauded wines which exemplify regional excellence.
Description
The 2024 vintage of Fleur du Cap's Essence du Cap Chenin Blanc is brilliantly clear, offering fresh and complex aromas of citrus, apples, and hints of apricots, with a subtle touch of oak spice. The palate is well-balanced and layered with creaminess, adding to the wine's roundness due to time spent on the lees, culminating in a lingering, crisp finish.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs excellently with seafood such as shellfish, crayfish, oysters, and mussels. It also complements Thai cuisine, light chicken dishes, and mild bobotie. Serving chilled, but not ice cold, enhances its refreshing qualities.
