2021 Painted Wolf Chenin Blanc, Coastal Region, South Africa
Fresh lemon and pear aromas give way to tropical passion fruit on the nose. Crisp
acidity and a hint of oak add to the texture and wonderful fruit flavours linger on the
palate. Exceptional value.
ABOUT THIS WINE
100% Chenin Blanc grapes harvested from Leeuwenkuil in the Swartland and Welgegund Farm in Wellington. The Leeuwenkuil grapes were tank fermented using natural yeast and blended with a smaller portion of barrel-fermented wine from 37 year old wines from Welgegund Farm.
