DIVIN Chenin Blanc Non-alc
$24.99
A refined and refreshing wine from the birthplace of Chenin Blanc, this classic example provides heady aromatics of honeysuckle, citrus, golden apple, apricot & fresh peach. Acidity drives freshness through the palate, with soft, sweet stone fruit keeping things luscious and lively.
Balanced & approachable. A standalone varietal in this 0% category, offering a true point of difference. Perfectly paired with decadent & creamy sauces, seafood and camenbert. Zero alcohol. Quite simply stunning.
Aubuisieres Cuvee de Silex
$27.99
The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from fifty year--old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley. Soils for 'Cuvée Silex' are exclusively flint stone (silex in French means flint), imparting a smoky, mineral essence to the wine. Look for a bouquet of pear, green apple, quince, and melon that develops notes of mineral and honey. The wine is ever so slightly off-dry, which lends it a juicy freshness. Expressive and exceptionally well balanced on the palate with lots of lemon and a trace of anise. Great with turkey, spicy Asian dishes and salmon.
Aubuisieres Vouvray Brut
$27.99
Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
In perhaps the most significant change of ownership in Vouvray since the Hwang family took possession of Domaine Huet, Bernard Fouquet has handed over the running of his domaine to a young associate, Charles Lesaffre. The handover of responsibility was a little more rushed than originally planned; the gradual transition suddenly accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, Charles essentially taking over at the time of the 2020 harvest, with a formal handover coming in 2021, hencve the name change from Fouquet to Aubuisieres.
Road 13 Sparkling
$51.99
Here's a sparkling wine that well.......sparkles! Loads of citrus fruits showcasing grapefruit, lemon rind, lime zest and quince. Completing the layers of flavours on the palate is shortbread crumbs, honeysuckle, toasted almond and yeasty bakery notes from the two years of lees contact. Chenin Blanc is legendary for its racy acidity yet this one is also beautifully balanced with great length.
Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc
$25.99
Chenin Blanc is the Cape’s signature variety, and the Mulderbosch winery has the largest planting of this variety in the world — the grape has been grown at Mulderbosch since the 1600s. Look for fruity aromas typical to the variety: mango, papaya and ripe grapefruit, while a subtle oak character lends depth to the profile. The taste is of tangy acidity leading into to a succulent and weighty mouthful. Enjoy with shellfish; grilled tuna; grilled sardines, lemon and herb roast chicken.
Protea Chenin Blanc
$19.99
A crisp, classy Chenin Blanc from a well-respected producer — and what a brilliant price. Don't miss the mouthwatering notes of pear, melon and flowers; serve chilled and share with good friends.
Aubuisieres Le Marigny Sec
$36.99
Le Marigny from Domaine des Aubuisieres is a 100% Chenin Blanc from Loire that is undergoes partial oak fermentation.
"A rich single-vineyard Chenin with fine balance of ripe apple and peach flavours, racy acidity and subtle spice notes from oak fermentation and lees ageing. Lovely now as a match for creamy pork dishes, but it will cellar well too."
Aubuisieres Cuvee Armelle
$34.99
In perhaps the most significant change of ownership in Vouvray since the Hwang family took possession of Domaine Huet (a legendary Vouvray producer), Bernard Fouquet has handed over the running of his domaine to his young associate, Charles Lesaffre. The handover of responsibility was a little more rushed than originally planned; the gradual transition suddenly accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Charles essentially taking over at the time of the 2020 harvest, with a formal handover coming in 2021, followed by the name change to Aubuisieres.
A fantastic moelleux (the term for sweet chenin blanc from the Loire Valley), this dessert wine is vibrant, with notes of baked apple, honey and a touch of almond. Perfect to pair with pate, foie gras, cheese or fruit pies. It's sweet but far from cloying, and organic.
