Vinification Details

  • The Chenin grapes are allowed skin contact with the wine, prior to pressing and natural settling in tank. The wine is then fermented in a combination of stainless steel and older 225 litre French oak barrels. This delivers a complex lift to stone fruit characteristics.

History

  • Stellenrust is a family run Winery who bottled their first wine on the farm in 1928. The farm is run by brothers Tertius (winemaker) and Kobus (viticulturist), who are committed to following their father's dream: to give something back to the workers who have themselves given so much to the farm. As a Fairtrade producer they boast one of the most successful Black Economic Empowerment projects in South Africa. This has resulted in 70 employees taking ownership of the land they farm.

Regional Information

  • Today the farm comprises around 400ha (200ha planted), half of which stretches over the Golden Triangle area of Stellenbosch, and the other half is situated high up in the Bottelary Hills, renowned for its cool climate and late afternoon sea breezes swooping in from Cape Town. Bottelary Hills have some of the best and oldest Chenin vines in South Africa. Stellenrust have vines up to 57 years old and have won the IWSC International trophy for best Chenin Blanc in the world 4 times in the last 7 years.

Great wine, always better when on offer

4 stars

Great wine, always better when on offer

Disappointing

1 stars

Having enjoyed many bottles of the 2015, I had no hesitation in ordering a case, for a forthcoming event, when I saw this on offer again, Only after delivery did I notice the vintage of 2016. I thought I would try a bottle with grilled chicken and salad. Light, crisp and the citrus notes were still there but the overall taste was less pleasant and a strong acid aftertaste remained in the mouth. Certainly not drinkable alone as I expect from a Chenin. It tends to want me to stick to those just from the Loire. I am pleased not to be serving this to my friends and have returned the other 5 bottles for a refund.

This wine is great

5 stars

This is my second order of this wine. It is a very quaffable wine and at a great price. When you chuck in delivery - what is not to like.

Tasty

5 stars

A very nice glass with an eclectic range of foods. I am moving from sauvignon to chenin as an every day wine.due to its versatile taste.

Not the best Chenin Blanc I've ever had

2 stars

I generally like chenin but this one tastes a bit peculiar

Light and friendly

5 stars

This wine is delicious I 'discovered it' when it was on special and now only drink this. It's light and tasty. Very good with all foods plus even if you fancy a glass of chilled wine this is the one. Guarantee the bottle will be empty because you will fancy another. For such a delicious wine the price is amazing too.

Special blend Chenin

5 stars

I enjoy spicy food and this the most perfect blend of a Chennin Blanc to enjoy with a wide range of delicacies.Fantastic value.

Good wine

3 stars

A spicy wine with plenty of taste and a wonderful after flavour bouquet

Solid SA 'Steen'

4 stars

This TF Chenin Blanc (or 'Steen' in the local vernacular) is a good example of the style, and worthy of the Finest nomenclature. The wine is a pale lemony-straw colour in the glass, with a fresh, rounded nose of green apple, melon and honey. The palate is very gently off-dry (Loire Chenin fans might wish for a bit more residual sugar) but the ripe melon and peach fruits along with that honeyed edge help add to the perception of sweetness. The wine has spent time in oak barrels, and this is evidenced by the oak-spiced, lengthy finish. Overall, a solid South African Chenin which would be a treat alongside buttered Chicken dishes.

Good every day wine

5 stars

I like this wine as it's easy on the pallet and very drinkable, what I call an 'every day wine' hence I ordered several boxes of 6 bottles. Unfortunately one box only contained five bottles. No idea how that is possible as the box was sealed!
