Stellenrust Old Vine Chenin Blanc Trio 2024

Yellow stone fruit and pineapple lead into grapefruit and wet stone, with a lightly oxidative edge adding savoury complexity. Seven months on lees in tank keeps the wine focused, fresh and free of oak. For drinkers who like Chenin Blanc with purity, mineral grip and a more stripped-back, savoury style.

Pear, yellow apple and white peach lead into citrus zest, honey and subtle vanilla spice. The palate is full and dry, with bright acidity and a gentle oak backdrop rather than overt woodiness. A strong fit if you like Chenin Blanc with ripe fruit, texture and restrained barrel character.

Peach and apricot lead into passion fruit, citrus and patisserie spice, with a candy-floss richness from the botrytised fruit. New French oak and lees ageing give the palate opulence and weight, while fresh mineral tension keeps the sweetness in balance. For drinkers who like powerful, richly textured Chenin Blanc with ripe fruit and obvious cellar ambition.
