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
Tropical notes of apricot, peach and pineapple alongside nuances of straw, dried flowers, bruised apple and a subtle hint of beeswax. The palate delivers flavours of baked apple tart, yellow fruits, and honeycomb, supported by a weighted mouthfeel and fleshy mid-palate texture. Bright acidity brings lift and definition, tapering into an almost saline edge toward the finish, with additional nutty undertones .Long, detailed and characterful, this Chenin Blanc combines richness with precision and terroir-driven complexity.
Food Pairing
Roast guinea fowl or chicken with herbs and crispy skin. Pan-seared scallops with brown butter and lemon. Pork schnitzel with a squeeze of lemon and simple greens. Mushroom risotto or creamy barley with herb. Aged Gouda, Gruyère or other nutty, semi-hard cheeses.
