False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc

False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc is an exceptional example of South African winemaking, specifically showcasing the potential of the Stellenbosch region's older, un-irrigated Chenin Blanc vines. The name 'Slow' refers to the winemaker's commitment to minimal intervention, allowing natural fermentation and extended contact with the lees (sediment) in older oak barrels. This approach yields a complex wine that is a profound step away from mass-produced styles. The result is a dry, textured white wine with remarkable depth. Expect inviting aromas of white peach, quince, and honeydew, underscored by a subtle minerality and a savory, nutty complexity from the aging. On the palate, it delivers vibrant acidity and a long, structured finish. This wine pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta.
