2013 Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc

With its bright, golden hue, this vintage exudes a delightful bouquet of ripe stone fruit, including luscious peach and apricot, complemented by hints of citrus and a subtle floral note. The wine’s body is well-rounded, providing a satisfying presence on the palate, while the crisp acidity delivers a refreshing lift that enhances its food-friendly character. A moderate intensity of fruit is balanced by a touch of minerality, offering a nuanced complexity that invites exploration. The finish is dry, leaving a clean and invigorating impression that makes this Chenin Blanc an excellent choice for both casual sipping and elegant dining occasions. Overall, the Delheim Family Chenin Blanc is a testament to the artistry of Stellenbosch winemaking, exemplifying quality and craftsmanship in every sip.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
