The Winery of Good Hope Bush Vine Chenin Blanc

A complex expression of three mountainous vineyards, featuring shale, greywacke and granite soils. From vines planted as early as 1972.

An icon chenin, a challenge to the world! Rich, layered with dried apricot, vanilla and honey. Will gain additional complexity with cellaring.

Inviting aromas of pineapple, guava and white peach with underlying floral and green fig notes. A full, rich palate of tropical fruit, citrus and spice leads into a long fresh honeyed finish.

Rich green-gold colour with flakes of olive. The fragrance of dusty lemon and lanolin, dried herbs and freshly picked dewy lemon leaves leap from the glass. The palate is finely textured with creamy orchard fruit, underpinned by subtle vanilla oak. Lush and bright with great palate weight, rounded and harmonious with a dry, lingering preserved lemon and spice finish. Beautifully balanced and focussed – a Chenin triumph!
