Product Description

  • Chenin Blanc, W.O. Western Cape. Fairtrade. Wine of South Africa.
  • Visit www.info.fairtrade.net
  • Every last grape in our Fairtrade wines comes from a collective of growers based in the beautiful Western Cape vineyards. South Africa’s signature white grape, Chenin Blanc ripens to perfection during the long sunny days of this Mediterranean style climate. Our dry, fruity Chenin Blanc is the perfect match for fresher, more delicate flavours – from creamy sauces to mild curries. It tastes of apples, pears and honey, with the subtlest hint of oak.

Excellent choice

5 stars

Very tasty. Light and zingy yet full of flavour. Good with water too.

Disappointing fizzy and slightly acid sour. Certai

1 stars

Disappointing fizzy and slightly acid sour. Certainly a poor SA example of Chenin Blanc, not up to scratch. One glass drunk, with poached salmon, the rest thrown away. We were forced to use our last bottle of Toronto’s from Argentina.
