A Bold and Flavorful Chenin Blanc from the Heart of South Africa

The Swartland Winery Bush Vines Chenin Blanc 2023 is a striking expression of this iconic South African varietal. Sourced from the Western Cape’s renowned Swartland region, this wine offers a harmonious blend of ripe tropical fruit, floral aromas, and integrated oak nuances, creating a wine that is both complex and approachable.

Upon opening, the wine presents an inviting bouquet of orange blossom and citrus zest, with tropical fruit notes of ripe pineapple and passionfruit coming to the forefront. These fragrances evolve into a rich, full-bodied palate, where spicy undertones and a lush mouthfeel provide a satisfying experience. The oak influence is beautifully balanced, imparting subtle complexity without overpowering the vibrant fruit character. The finish is long and creamy, with hints of butterscotch, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

Winery	The Swartland name originates from a description of the Indigenous "reposters" or rhino bush, which appears to turn black ("Swart" in Afrikaans) during the summer months. This hot, dry climate has an average temperature range of 25°C to 35°C and an annual rainfall of 450 mm and 600mm, but the altitude of these vineyards creates a cool oasis in this arid landscape. Minimal intervention and environmentally friendly farming practices are paramount. The soil types vary, but Malmesbury Shale dominates, with small patches of granite and Table Mountain sandstone. The grapes came from a single vineyard, from 100% bush vines, aged 25 to 30 years.
