Crafted from meticulously selected old-vine Chenin Blanc vineyards in Stellenbosch, Warwick Estate’s Old Vine Chenin Blanc is a testament to South Africa’s rich winemaking heritage. This elegant and expressive wine showcases depth, texture, and a beautiful interplay of fruit and minerality.
A luminous straw-gold hue with bright reflections, hinting at both freshness and complexity.
A captivating bouquet of ripe quince, yellow apple, and pear unfolds, complemented by layers of honeysuckle, citrus blossom, and a touch of ginger spice. Subtle oak influence imparts delicate notes of toasted almond and vanilla, enhancing the aromatic depth.
Rich yet beautifully balanced, the palate delivers a medley of baked apple, ripe peach, and honeyed citrus, underpinned by a vibrant acidity that adds freshness and length. A gentle creaminess from barrel aging enhances the texture, leading to a lingering finish with hints of toasted brioche and wet stone minerality.
An excellent match for roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. It also pairs wonderfully with soft cheeses like goat’s cheese or a well-aged Comté.
Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and elegance, or cellar for 5–7 years to develop deeper honeyed and nutty characteristics.
