Steen Chenin Blanc 2025
Description
From the rugged, windswept vineyards of Piekenierskloof comes a Chenin Blanc that speaks of authenticity and place. Donkiesbaai’s old bush vines, deeply rooted in sandy soils, produce naturally low yields, concentrating flavour while preserving remarkable freshness.
The 2025 vintage captures this balance beautifully: sun-ripened fruit framed by cooling Atlantic influences. This is not merely a refreshing white — it is a wine of structure and quiet power. Imagine opening it on a warm evening, the first glass revealing layers that unfold gradually, rewarding attention and conversation. A Chenin Blanc crafted for those who seek elegance with personality.
Tasting notes
The nose opens with expressive aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest and subtle vanilla spice. On the palate, the wine shows impressive texture and depth, revealing notes of yellow apple, pineapple and delicate herbal nuances. A vibrant line of acidity provides precision and lift, while a gently creamy mid-palate leads to a long, dry and harmonious finish.
Food pairing recommendations
Its structure and freshness make it exceptionally versatile. Pair with grilled prawns, seared scallops or line-caught fish with beurre blanc. It also complements roast chicken with herbs, creamy risotto or mildly spiced Asian cuisine. For a refined aperitif moment, serve slightly chilled with aged goat cheese or Comté.
