Semillon Chenin Blanc

Ideal with seafood (sushi, prawns), light salads, fresh cheese, or creamy pasta dishes.

54% Sémillon from Franschhoek, planted in 1962 and 1973, and 46% Swartland and Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc planted in the 80’s. Sémillon planted on sandstone and the chenin blanc mainly on granite. Sémillon gives oiliness with time, and that way depth and structure. Granite is all about minerality and grip.

Katja Leinberger and Marcel Hartman have a background in aesthetics, wine and hospitality. The love for beautiful wine comes naturally in such an environment. Our contacts with farms and winemakers made it possible to make our dream of having our wine a reality. The wines that bear the Bothey name are all premium wines that we are happy to drink ourselves every day. They show their true heritage and terroir by making them with minimal intervention. We are very fortunate to work with some of the top winemakers of South Africa.
