Melita | 2019 | 750 ml
The versatility of Chenin Blanc makes this cultivar ideal for the production of lower
alcohol wines. Its vigorous grapes hang longer on the vine than most other white
varieties, thereby ripening slower and developing more flavour intensity.
It typically shows bold fruit structure and good acidity. Chenin Blanc vineyards
thrive in the Paarl region around Boland Cellar, where good exposure to sun and
cooling summer winds, together with granite and shale soils, all provide ideal
growing conditions.
This fruity Chenin Blanc bursts with vibrant freshness and a variety of seasonal fruit
flavours. Expect ripe fruit structure with balanced acidity and an abundance of fruit
character, like peaches, melons, passion fruit and yellow apples – all captured in the
bottle along with healthy doses of Cape sunshine. The lively and fresh character
makes it a versatile companion to food and friends alike.
