Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape variety that offers a wide range of wine styles, from dry to sparkling to sweet. Typical aromas include quince, yellow apple, pear, chamomile and honey. The wines are characterized by high acidity, reminiscent of Riesling, combined with the texture of Chardonnay. It is most commonly cultivated in South Africa, where it is also known as “Steen”, and the Loire region in France. Chenin Blanc can mature for decades and goes well with dishes with sweet and sour tastes and high-fat meats.
