  • Kleine Zalze Chenin Blanc is a truly fantastic value wine. Dry, zesty, and with a succulent palate of crisp pear and tropical pineapple with more vibrant guava notes that jump out of the glass.
  • From Stellenbosch and Paarl in South Africa, the grapes are grown on old bush vines, with each parcel separately fermented and the finished wine only blended after a 4 month aging period.
  • Lime and citrus combine with a rich mouthfeel and a dainty minerality leading into a long, delicious finish

Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Initial aromas of lime and citrus zest are beautifully intertwined with guava and tropical fruit. These flavours follow on the palate, and combined with the rich texture and elegant minerality, ensures a very long finish. The wine can be enjoyed now, on its own or with salmon, roast chicken and creamy pasta dishes, but will also mature gracefully over the next 3 to 5 years.

About

Viticulture: The grapes for this wine comes from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch and Paarl. Owing to the nature of bush vines, careful canopy management was exercised so that no bunches were exposed to excessive sunlight and an even ripening of the grapes.

Winemaking: All the vineyard parcels were harvested at optimum ripeness and vinified separately. All the grapes were given 12 to 24 hours extended skin contact before only the free-run juice was transferred to tank for fermentation. The wines were fermented at low temperatures with selected yeast strains to highlight each vineyards specific characteristic. After fermentation the wine was left for a further four months in contact with the lees before putting the final blend together.

Ideal with...

Versatile wine that will pair nicely with roasted meats, pasta or sautee vegetables. Try also with Pizza/Pasta, Casseroles/Stews or Mild Creamy Cheeses. Try also with shell fish, salads and picnics.
