Chenin Blanc
A shape-shifter of remarkable versatility, Chenin Blanc moves effortlessly from crisp and bone-dry to lusciously sweet. At its core, expect golden apple, quince, and honeysuckle, often underpinned by beeswax and lanolin. The Loire Valley’s Vouvray and Savennières showcase its mineral brilliance, while South Africa’s versions tend toward tropical richness. Bright acidity ensures longevity, allowing honeyed, nutty complexity to develop with age. When sparkling, it shimmers with freshness; when still, it enchants with layered depth. Chenin Blanc is a quiet classic, never demanding the spotlight yet always delivering wines of extraordinary charm, precision, and poise.
