Lighthearted Low-Alcohol Chenin Blanc

This wine pairs well with light summer dishes like vegetable & shrimp rice paper spring rolls or salmon tacos with avocado lime dressing.

The 2025 harvest was marked by slightly below-average volumes, a result of the dry conditions experienced during the late summer and harvest period. These weather conditions proved advantageous for grape quality, resulting in good natural acidity and sugar levels in the grapes. This balance of concentrated flavours, intense colour and vibrant acidity promises exceptional wines for the vintage.

Under dryland conditions, Chenin Blanc produces small berries with good flavour concentration. Harvested from a 20-year-old bush vine vineyard in the Paarl region, the grapes were picked at 22°Balling to ensure the fresh style of the wine. 30% of the wine was dealcoholised mid-fermentation to achieve a low alcohol level. No lees contact took place after fermentation.
