"Chenin Blanc is to South Africa what Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is to NZ, Shiraz to Australia, or Malbec to Argentina. It’s what they do best!
Being the largest producer of Chenin Blanc in the world, South African producers like DeMorgenzon will be stoked to know that this exciting white grape is coming back into fashion. That’s mainly because more dry styles are now being made rather than the slightly sweeter (off-dry) stuff traditionally made in France. Let’s not even talk about how it was used as a cheap wine filler back in the '80s!
Chenin is commonly known as a dry, zesty white, but the higher quality versions (like this) are slightly oaked to give it a soft, rich texture similar to an oaked Chardonnay or Viognier. A fresh, dry style, this makes the ideal partner to roast chicken, pork, lobster, or anything in a creamy sauce.
DeMorgenzon literally means ‘the morning sun’ – that’s because they’re the first in the Stellenbosch Valley to see it, thanks to the high altitude of their vineyards. It’s time to see the light, give Chenin a whirl and find out why this style’s on the rise."
