Savage WinesWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
This is a deep, serious Chenin with good ageing potential.
Complex and layered Chenin Blanc- yellow orchard fruit (apple, peach), honeyed tones, florals, and dried herbs. There's spiciness, a saline minerality and a rich, rounded texture.
Great with creamy cheeses, seafood in butter sauce, roasted root vegetables, or richer white meats. Also lovely solo as a contemplative glass.
Best known in Loire Valley, South Africa
A brilliant shape-shifter. Bone-dry, off-dry, sweet or sparkling, always with vivid acidity running through it. Apple, quince, honey and a waxy texture, with the best examples from the Loire and South Africa ageing gracefully for many years.
South Africa
South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
