'Taste Chenin Blanc' includes the following 6 bottles:

x1 Radford Dale Renaissance Chenin Blanc 2023 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)

We’ve worked with this special 1969 planted vineyard of Chenin for over 15 years and are still discovering nuances year on year. Tiny yields and berries produce terrifically concentrated wine, whilst the maritime influence washing in from False Bay contributes freshness and tension.

x1 Land of Hope Reserve Chenin Blanc 2023 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Balanced and poised, this wine provides just enough richness to please the palate and just the right amount of zing to refresh. Land of Hope is Radford Dale's Educational Trust - set up to provide private education for the children of previously disadvantaged RD employees. Profits made from these wines fuel the Trust. So, drink well, do good.

x1 Radford Dale Vinum Chenin Blanc 2023  (Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Receiving a significant inclusion from the 1969 planted Renaissance vineyard, plus mature bush vines parcels in the Polkadraai, the Vinum Chenin Blanc is the sums of its parts. Textural, compelling and transparent of varietal and place.

x1 Vincent Careme Vouvray Sec 2023 (Loire, France)

Vincent is a first-generation producer (his parents cereal farmers) based in Vouvray since 1999. He’s an important figure in the revival of Vouvray, leading the way with organic viticulture and meticulous cellar work that allows for minimal additives.

He has welcomed numerous young Cape winemakers for harvest, and produces Chenin Blanc here in the Swartland. It is hard to think of a more specialised Chenin Blanc producer in the world of wine! 

x1 Domaine Catherine & Pierre Breton Vouvray Sec Dillettante 2024 (Loire Valley, France)

Low intervention wine icons, the Breton family are both generous and humble in their Dilettante (‘dabbling in’) Chenin Blanc. Fleshy, honeyed and cut by thrilling acidity, it’s a beautiful expression from that other famous Chenin Blanc region, the Loire. 

x1 Domaine Des Roches Neuves Thierry Germain Saumur L’Insolite 2024 (Loire Valley, France)

Thierry Germain of Saumur is a pioneer of biodynamic farming in the Loire, producing some of the regions most coveted Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. L’Insolite (‘the uncommon’) is a chiseled and detailed Chenin Blanc from biodynamically farmed vines of some 90 years age. Old vine Chenin mecca.
