Karien 2009

Our Chenin blanc bursting with tropical fruits has been a favourite for many vintages.

The wine is smooth, well balanced and unwooded in order to allow the highlight the bright fruit character.

A wonderful, light white wine for warm summer's days and nights.

Style & Tasting Notes

Intricate nose of peach, ripe pears and tropical fruits. The fruit driven aromas follow through on the palate with a crisp citrus acidity and a smooth finish.

Wine Making Notes

The wine is fermented at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. Partially produced from young Chenin blanc vines from our farm in Elgin, blended with Chenin blanc from the Paardeberg. The result is a well balanced, fresh wine.
