The Kottabos Chenin Blanc Skin Contact from Boschkloof is a Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch in which skin contact is deliberately used during aging to enhance color, texture, and aromatic intensity. Boschkloof describes the wine as its own example of this style.
In skin contact winemaking, the must remains in contact with the grape skins before pressing. This gives the wine a deeper golden color, more structure, and a slightly grippy character. The method particularly enhances the fruit and spice notes and lends the Chenin Blanc additional depth.
On the nose, the wine is intense, with aromas of apple, quince, and dried apricot, complemented by notes of orange marmalade, orange zest, and dried herbs. On the palate, it combines juicy fruit with a fine, slightly grippy texture and pronounced aromatic depth. This dry wine has a longer, spicier, and increasingly hearty finish.
Thanks to its structure and aromatic intensity, the Kottabos Chenin Blanc Skin Contact is particularly well-suited to dishes with bold flavors and distinct textures. It pairs well, for example, with spicy lamb, tagines, charcuterie, or aged Cheddar.
