Terre Brûlée Chenin Blanc - 2021

750 mL
Item # 34921

The Swartland region of South Africa is teeming with winemakers who are landing very old vines (well above 70 years) and making incredible wines as a result. This comes from winemakers Tania and Vincent Carême, natives of the Loire, who fell in love with the region and haven't looked back. Dry-farmed, mineral driven and full of delicious character.

The grapes here are dry farmed, unirrigated bush vines averaging 40 years of age in soils of decomposed granite. The Mediterranean climate and abundant sunshine bring a refreshing brightness to the wine while helping to develop the tropical fruit flavors of ripe peach, guava and a hint of orange blossom.

Chenin Blanc

A versatile grape that is grown worldwide, but is most commonly associated with the Loire, California, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand.
