The Huguenot Chenin Blanc
Here’s a real best-of-both worlds white. With its unmistakable freshness and citrus intensity, the Huguenot is everything you’d expect from South Africa’s breathtakingly beautiful Western Cape (where Chenin Blanc is the No 1. white). But there’s something extra here, too – ripe pineapple and pear notes, reminiscent of the elegant whites you get in Chenin Blanc’s spiritual home, France’s Loire Valley.
The Huguenot is crafted from 100% Chenin, grown on old, low-yielding vines (prized for producing more intensely concentrated flavors). The fruit was handpicked in early morning, to preserve freshness. The final blend was aged on its lees, for added depth of flavor.
Look forward to vibrant honeysuckle, peach, pineapple and passion fruit balanced with a fresh burst of citrus on the finish. True to its best-of-both-worlds character, the Huguenot is as delicious with classic French dishes like salmon en croute as it is with South Africa’s traditional braai (BBQ). Enjoy well chilled.
