Roodekrantz Wines
Roodekrantz Wines is a South African producer focused on careful vineyard selection, sustainable grower relationships and fruit-led winemaking. With access to certified old-vine blocks and a restrained approach to oak, the range highlights Chenin Blanc and other South African wines shaped by vineyard character rather than heavy cellar influence.
Description
The nose offers expressive aromas of ripe mango, yellow peach, paw-paw, melon and orange peel, alongside a perfumed note of white pear. The palate opens with a gentle creaminess and attractive texture, adding subtle weight without becoming rich or opulent. Well-balanced acidity supports the generous fruit core, ensuring freshness and clarity. Flavours echo the aromatics, with yellow and orange tropical fruits carrying through to a persistent, flavourful finish. A light touch of spice adds further dimension. Composed, fruit-forward and beautifully balanced, this old-vine Chenin Blanc showcases purity, lift and refined texture.
Food Pairing
Roast chicken with citrus and herb butter. Mild Cape Malay seafood curry. Pork belly with caramelised apple and pear. Grilled prawns with garlic, lemon and chilli. Soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or young goat’s cheese.
