About the wine
Crisp, unoaked Reserve Chenin Blanc from the heart of South Africa's wine country
- Carmen’s latest Chenin Blanc is clean, refreshing and flush with a bounty of bright fruit, like a helping of fresh pears and apples from a farmer’s market stand.
- Thanks to your support, Carmen could source impeccable fruit from old, old vineyards in South Africa and she carefully blended grapes that were harvested at varying ripeness for a complex, oh-so-craveable take on South Africa’s signature white grape.
- Fermented in stainless steel tanks to bring out the fullest, freshest fruit flavors and a lush, textured mouthfeel, this Chenin is smooth and crisp, with a citrus backbone and finish so long and lingering, you have to taste it to believe it.
Best before
The CBL has a beautiful, clean, refreshing acidity that is paired with good fruit depth. These characters makes for a good refreshing drink now and yet the same acidity is what will give this wine good legs to age for up to 4-5 years.
Serving advice
Enjoy very cold in youth and just below room temperature when aged.
Food match
The refreshing yet full characteristic makes this wine very versatile when it comes to food. I would enjoy this CBL with seafood (crab or prawns), but the wine will also complement pesto-based pasta. My ultimate pairing would be rosemary and lime-roasted chicken.
