Chenin Blanc Wooded

2003 Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc

The Hazendal Chenin Blanc Wooded hails from the esteemed Stellenbosch region and showcases the remarkable qualities of the 2003 vintage. This delightful white wine presents a full-bodied profile that beautifully balances its vibrant acidity with a pronounced fruit intensity. The winemaking process has imparted a lovely richness, complemented by subtle oak influence, which contributes to its creamy mouthfeel. With each sip, expect to encounter lush notes of ripe stone fruits alongside hints of honey and wildflowers, making it a compelling choice for any occasion. Its dry character ensures a refreshing finish, while the integrated tannins lend structure without overpowering the elegance of the varietal. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a range of dishes, this wine is truly a testament to the excellence of Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
