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.

Anyone who loves New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc needs to taste this very quaffable Chenin Blanc from South Africa. It's herbal and ripe, with the slightest touch of residual sugar. Perhaps the best part is that it's not a wine you have to think about too much: it tastes great and it's easy to drink.

A great bargain ($8-$9 in the D.C./Baltimore area) and very drinkable Chenin Blanc from South Africa's Stellenbosch region.

The wine displays a pale white color and light body with citrus, limes and minerals on the nose. In the mouth the chalky minerality balances with moderate acidity for a soft feel, yet still up to fish on the grill, summer pasta dishes and just lovely with a chilled cucumber gazpacho. On the palette it offers up green apple and lime flavors with a strong presence of the classic Stellenbosch chalky minerals. A light and lively personality with just enough oomph read more...
