About the wine
Delicious and drinkable Chenin made by Gold medal-winning winemaker Carmen Stevens
- Carmen is one of the rare winemakers who knows exactly how to coax the best out of South Africa's tricky Chenin Blanc.
- This has purity written all over it. Crisp clean, apple and white peach fruit flavours running alongside a lovely creamy, soft bite to the finish. Just delicious.
- The perfect partner for a lovely fresh piece of cod, or a plateful of creamy mussels.
Best before
Drink now to 2023. This Chenin Blanc is a lovely clean and refreshing wine that should be enjoyed in its youth to experience the primary flavours that dominates this wine at the moment. With age this wine will show all the beautiful characteristic associated with Chenin Blanc.
Serving advice
Serve chilled at 8-10°C when young and at 10-12°C after a few years in bottle
Food match
I prepared the following dish with The Chenin Blanc and it was most delicious.
Spiced-rubbed pork fillet with mango and corn salsa: recipe from - Cooking with Gas
Ingredients:
For the mano and corn salsa( prepare the salsa before the meat)
4 cobs of sweetcorn
2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
4T coriander roughly chopped
1 chilli, roughly chopped
2T olive oil
2 limes, juiced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To make the mango and corn salsa, blanch the sweetcorn in boiling, salted water until tender.
Once cool enough to handle, slice off the kernels and place in a bowl.
Add the diced mango and add remaining ingredients.
Preparing the pork fillet
2T smoked paprika
3T cumin
1T salt
2T black pepper
The recipe asked for 2t cloves ( I do not like the taste so I left it out)
1T turmeric ( I used turmeric root)
1tground ginger ( love ginger)
1t ground nutmeg
300g pork fillet
2T olive oil
Preheat the oven to 180°C; or 356°F
Mix all the spices in a bowl.
Rub the pork fillet with the olive oil first then run in the spice mix.
Sear in a hot pan for 30 seconds on each side, then finish in the oven until cooked through. Serve with mango and corn salsa and a cold glass of Chenin Blanc 2018.
Enjoy!

Meet the winemaker - Carmen Stevens
- From humble roots, Carmen blazed a trail, to become head winemaker at a prestigious winery in South Africa. Her wines won medals by the truckload, yet she couldn’t even get a bank overdraft to start her own business.
- That was until Angel funding allowed her to finally fulfil her dream of setting up her own winery. Carmen has gone from strength to strength ever since, winning countless awards (including being voted your Winemaker of the Decade!)
- With your support, coupled with her sheer passion and determination, Carmen is helping to create a better future for South African children. Over the past 4 years, she’s raised over half a million pounds to feed hungry school children in the slums just 30 minutes from beautiful Stellenbosch.
