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
Layered aromas beeswax, yellow plum, melon, peach, yellow apple and hints of citrus peel, with a gentle underpinning of oak spice. The palate opens with a beautifully rounded, creamy entry. Viscous and almost oily in texture, the Semillon component adds weight and depth to the mid-palate. Soft, rounded acidity supports flavours of peaches and cream, ripe yellow plum, melon and a subtle touch of pineapple. Oak is seamlessly integrated, contributing further texture without dominating the fruit flavours. The finish is lingering and composed, with notes of yellow citrus and stone fruit carrying through. A flavoursome, complete blend showing harmony, breadth and fine balance.
Food Pairing
Roast chicken with lemon, thyme and crispy skin. Pan-seared line fish with beurre blanc or citrus butter. Creamy prawn linguine or shellfish risotto. Pork loin or belly with stonefruit compote. Soft-rind cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or young goat’s cheese.
