Paarl Heights Chenin Blanc

Paarl Heights Chenin Blanc

A fresh, dry Chenin with broad appeal displaying zippy citrus aromas, lightly honeyed with vibrant fruit on the palate and well balanced by crisp acidity. Extended lees contact gives this great value wine some real weight and character.

This Chenin Blanc is sourced from vines grown on sandy loams over granite bedrock, the classic Cape soils type. No irrigation is used in the vineyards and very little crop control is needed due to the age of the vines naturally restricting yield. Produced from only free run juice and fermented on skins in stainless steel tanks. The wine is left on fine lees for an extended period for greater palate weight and mouthfeel.

Perfect for picnics, or good with seafood and poultry dishes.

A delicate and well balanced Chenin with depth and concentration from old, unirrigated bush vines surrounding Paarl Rock.

Boutinot South Africa is driven by a passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led them to South Africa in 1994, where they pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region. They use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries.

Since then they have been exploring the country’s amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Their home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthusiasm for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey’s expertise in finesse.
