McFarlane Wines
McFarlane Wines was born while sharing dreams and desires one evening over dinner, sometime in 2018. A dream to have something family-owned and operated, and a deep desire to honour some of South Africa’s heritage varieties. South Africa’s vinous history is a unique one, and certain varieties have had a significant influence in shaping where the South African wine industry is today. McFarlane Wines aims to produce fine, honest wines from these varieties and share what we love about them with the world.
Description
The Monday’s Child Chenin Blanc opens with fragrant aromas of poached quince, fresh apricot, delicate florals, and a subtle touch of clove spice. The palate is richly textured yet vibrant, with fleshy yellow fruit and savoury spice seamlessly carrying through from the nose. Bright acidity and tangy yellow fruit give structure and energy, while gentle spice keeps the wine lively and moreish. A wine of freshness and character, with good ageing potential.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs wonderfully with a gently spiced chickpea stew featuring coconut milk, ginger, and garlic. Its bright acidity and layered texture make it versatile enough for richly flavoured vegetarian and poultry dishes.
