False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc 2025 Description
On the palate, this wine reveals layers of white peach and honeyed citrus, with subtle mineral notes that speak to the wine's terroir.
The texture is silky yet vibrant, with the wild yeast fermentation creating a delicate brioche undertone that complements the wine's natural acidity. Mid-palate shows excellent weight and persistence, with flavours of preserved lemon and a whisper of white flowers. The tannins are soft and integrated, allowing the fruit to shine through without domination. As it opens, you'll discover hints of almond and toasted hazelnut, adding complexity and depth.
The finish is remarkably persistent, with a saline quality that lingers beautifully, leaving impressions of citrus zest and dried stone fruit. This is a wine that rewards patience - allow it to breathe for 15-20 minutes to fully express its character.
Best enjoyed at 10-12°C, it pairs beautifully with seafood, goat's cheese, and lighter poultry dishes.
