Description
The Rustenberg Chenin Blanc 2024 shows aromas of pineapple, orange blossom & yellow pear follow through to the palate which is crisp, textured and complemented by characters of citrus . The Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc is a relatively new addition to the Rustenberg portfolio. While Chenin Blanc has not been planted on the Rustenberg estate since the late 1980’s there is an abundance of superb bush vine Chenin Blanc in Stellenbosch, which was discovered in sourcing fruit for the Rustenberg Straw Wine each vintage. Grapes were hand harvested from 4 different bush vine blocks, 20 to 35 years old, in the Bottelary sub-region of Stellenbosch. This wine is a Rustenberg take on a varietal synonymous with South Africa.
Ageing potential: 5 years and beyond from vintage.
Alcohol: 13.5% ABV
