Similar to the Loire region in France, South Africa and Chenin Blanc pair together very nicely. This 100% Chenin Blanc (or Steen as it is sometimes called locally) comes from the Swartland region. It is produced by the Mullineux family and it fermented in both tanks and used French oak barrels in order to create a balanced wine with both silkiness and acidity.
Try pairing this versatile Chenin Blanc with Gruyere cheese, veal parmigiana, Chinese take-out, smoked salmon, or even turkey dinner.
750ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Pale straw in colour, this wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. The wine has a fresh, mineral finish. Best enjoyed young and served at 10 to 12 ˚C.
JancisRobinson.com Tasting Note (2020 Vintage)
Jancis Robinson - "Recognisably Chenin on the nose with floral and light honey notes. This is clearly very youthful – less than a year old – and I'd expect it to round out and take on a bit more interest in the second half of 2021. Nice tang on the still-fairly-grippy finish is a Swartland speciality."
RobertParker.com Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)
Anthony Mueller - 88 Points - "The 2019 Kloof Street Chenin Blanc opens with a bright, fruity nose with a touch of reduction, showing the natural and elegant fruit profile of Chenin with aromas of quince, sweet citrus, yellow apple and wax melon in the glass. Medium-bodied, the wine is nimble and balanced on the palate with a kiss of phenolic bitterness, ending with soft flavors of Anjou pear and Meyer lemon over the lingering finish. It's an easy-drinking wine with a balanced, fresh-fruited frame that delivers great for the price."

The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from mostly hand-picked five-plus decade-old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley.
A luxurious white from the famous Bernard Fouquet who is both passionate and meticulous -- which is why he is a great winemaker. His Vouvray is highly prized worldwide and lauded by wine critics. Organically farmed and dry with notes of apple, pear and chestnut along with fresh quince. Refreshingly bright, chalky and zesty.

Winemaker Kym Rayner has a number of medals to his credit and Torlesse has a reputation for producing wines of a very high standard. The wine shows distinctive passion fruit and pears with a creamy rich palate that also shows nuances of oak from barrel fermentation and finishes with a hint of sweetness. Chalk up another delicious white to the Kiwis!

Lagar de Costa is a family winery, managed through more than a century with the effort and dedication of three family generations dedicated to championing the indigenous Albariño grape and to crafting it into high-quality white wines. The vines have an average age of 30-plus years and the wine is a light gold colour with an expressive nose of mineral, spring flowers and lemon meringue. Creamy-textured, rich, vibrant, and well-balanced. It would go well with a wide array of seafood, soft-ripened cheeses or simply on its own in the summer shade.
