Waterford Old Vine Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc, the white wine full of character, repeatedly achieves outstanding qualities, especially in South Africa. The Waterford Old Vine Chenin Blanc is the perfect example of this. Some of the grapes used in this white wine come from vines that were planted in 1966, more than 50 years ago. (The second vineyard was planted in 1978) A fascinating aromatic concentration characterizes this white wine from the Stellenbosch region. If you like: With age, you learn more and more to concentrate on the things that matter.

Intense fruity notes of pear, grapefruit and peach characterize the bouquet. Harmonious notes of honey and floral tones complete the bouquet. On the palate, the Waterford Old Vine Chenin Blanc is dry, complex and pleasantly soft, with a stimulating minerality and aromatic depth. The finish is wonderfully fresh and fruity.

The Chenin Blanc from the Blaauwklippen Valley, which shimmers in a soft greenish yellow, was mostly matured in concrete eggs and a very small proportion in old oak barrels. Meryl Weaver awards 91 points (4.5 out of 5 stars) for the Waterford Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2020 in John Platter's Wine Guide. Her overall verdict: "Ripe pear & stone fruit with soft, creamy texture from two old vineyards (1966 & 1978). Fermented/matured in concrete egg & 15% in old oak, allowing soft fruit to shine in the softer, rounder 2020."

2018 was the first vintage of this white wine. Enjoy it with poultry, fish dishes (salmon) or a fresh seafood salad.
