Bright gold in colour, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe pineapple, mango, apricot and passion fruit, alongside subtle floral notes. On the palate, this Swartland Chenin Blanc is full-bodied and creamy, with layered flavours of stone fruit, citrus peel and a gentle oak spice, underpinned by a fine mineral edge. The finish is long, polished and savoury, making this a serious yet very drinkable South African white wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast monkfish with butter beans and lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreamy chicken or mushroom dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled cauliflower steak with tahini and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is Chenin Blanc with real confidence behind it.
