Dornier Moordernaarskloof Chenin Blanc

The Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc comes from a unique vineyard on the Keerweerder estate, on the slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountains. This small but versatile parcel is characterized by three different soil types, which give the wine remarkable complexity and depth. Since its planting in 1986 at the foot of the Moordenaarskloof at an altitude of 230 meters, the vineyard has been characterized by a natural balance of growth and yield, which is reflected in the quality of the grapes.

The grapes are harvested by hand in the cool morning hours at the beginning of February and gently pressed. After a cold, natural clarification of the must, fermentation takes place in old 300-liter French oak barrels. The wine remains on the lees until bottling, which gives it a creamy texture and a special fullness. Gentle production with minimal intervention guarantees the authentic expression of the terroir and the Chenin Blanc variety.

In the glass, the Dornier Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc is a light, pale straw yellow. Delicate scents of wild flowers and Cape honeysuckle unfold on the nose, accompanied by aromas of white peaches and pineapple. A fine minerality gives the wine additional depth. On the palate, the aromatic freshness is combined with an elegant, intense and creamy texture that underlines the character of the white wine.

The Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc is ideal as an aperitif and goes perfectly with light starters, fresh seafood or cold white meat. Serve it well chilled at around 8-10 °C to enjoy the freshness and fine aromas to the full.

Creation Estate Cool Climate Chenin Blanc
The Creation Estate Cool Climate Chenin Blanc is an impressive white wine from the Creation Wines estate in South Africa, more precisely from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge - one of the coolest and most exciting wine regions in the country. Expressive, finely structured wines with excellent balance and minerality are produced here."A sense of essence, reduced to wonderful purity." Christine Rudman is full of praise for the Creation Estate Cool Climate Chenin Blanc in John Platter's Wine Guide. The wine critic awards 93 points (4.5 stars) for this white wine from South Africa. The bouquet of this outstanding Chenin Blanc has a multi-layered aroma of ginger, tomato leaf, apple peel and honey. Notes of lime and quince also enrich the bouquet.The interplay of aromas continues to unfold on the palate: fresh green apple and the creaminess of coconut milk in the background. "Becomes more mineral, more salty on the palate, subtle influence of oak, adds texture rather than flavor," Rudman judges.The grapes for the Creation Estate Cool Climate Chenin Blanc come from a 15-year-old vineyard in the higher and therefore cooler part of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley. The wine was matured for seven months in older French oak barrels.Serve this golden yellow white wine at a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees. It is a fine accompaniment to gravad salmon or pancetta with fried spring onions and leeks.

Allesverloren Chenin Blanc
The grapes for the Allesverloren Chenin Blanc come from vineyards that are located more than 300 metres above sea level. The vineyards are exposed to the northwest and southeast, thus benefitting from optimal sunshine and giving the wine its special complexity and an enormous fullness. The wine has a clear, brilliant colour with light green glints. On the nose, it offers very fine nuances of coal, complemented by aromas of juicy apples and hints of lime.The Allesverloren Chenin Blanc is well-balanced, with restrained acidity. Nevertheless, it is lively, fresh and soft on the palate. The ripe notes of stone fruit particularly underscore this taste experience. We recommend serving this wine with light chicken dishes, summer salads or seafood.
