About the wine
PURE South African Chenin Blanc
- Pure, scintillating Chenin Blanc that'll make it obvious why South Africa has become the world's #1 producer of this zesty grape variety.
- Carmen used her Angel funding to make the quintessential South African Chenin where every sip is like biting into a juicy green apple.
- Imagine a big simmering bowlful of creamy mussels and a rich butter sauce and a glass of this delight between every bite. Yum!
Best before
Although beautiful in its youth, CBL ages just as well. This CBL will show lovely honey comb and more
baked apple flavors with a full yet fresh acidity as it ages. This wine can hold its own for 3-4 years
showing lovely secondary flavors in this time period
Serving advice
As this wine is still so young I suggest to chill this wine to get all the benefits of the fresh, crisp
element it offers now.
Food match
In South Africa CBL is paired with many food types because of its adaptability to food. Most often
enjoyed with seafood and light dishes and also enjoyed with pasta, white meats and vegetarian dishes.
Contains sulphites
