What to Expect

Chenin Blanc is one of the world's least-known and appreciated great white wine grapes. Originally from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has spread around the globe and is used for virtually all styles of white wine, from crisp and lean to rich, round full table wines, sparkling wines, and some of the most decadent dessert wines made. Classic descriptors for the flavors of Chenin Blanc include peach, honey, lanolin, marzipan, and quince jelly though the dry style from South Africa, where the wines are known as Steen, often exhibits more tropical fruit notes that recall pineapple and guava.

Winemakers Notes

Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Award Winner 2001 Veritas Wine Show 2001 - silver medal winner. SA Trophy Wine Show 2002 - silver medal winner. A nose of summer melon and tropical fruit with a hint of spiciness. Crisp, clean, bright and full-bodied with a lingering after-taste.

Reviews

In South African legend, Kanu was a bird who promised a bountiful harvest to all who passed under its shadow. The makers of this dry and delicate Chenin Blanc must have been directly under its flight path, because this bottle is bursting with fresh, full tropical fruit flavors, layered over a subtle mineral base. Drink this on its own or take advantage of its great acidity by pairing it with light hors d'oeuvres.

Blend: 88.8% Chenin Blanc, 6% Sauvignon Blanc, 5.2% Chardonnay Pale straw color. A nose of tropical fruit and summer melon with a hint of spice. Crisp and full bodied, the papaya and pineapple flavors ensure a lingering aftertaste. Food suggestions: An ideal wine to be enjoyed with salads, char-grilled artichokes in olive oil or platters of ripe fruit. Also matches fresh line fish and light, cream-based pastas. A perfect picnic wine.
