Description
In a nutshell:
A lavishly rich and creamy old vine Chenin Blanc from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa.
The lowdown:
Chenin Blanc is South Africa's most popular white grape, but few take quite as much trouble in making a superior version than Stellenrust. Hand harvested fruit from 55 year old vineyards is wild fermented and aged on its lees in French oak for nine months - not dissimilar to good white Burgundy. It has ripe and tropical honeyed fruit flavours and a smooth creaminess coming from the oak. To round off the lingering finish remains bright and crisp throughout.
When to drink:
A wine that's won many awards and is very well worth the pretty modest price tag.
