2013 Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc

The Delheim Family Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch is a splendid white wine that beautifully showcases the region's viticultural excellence. 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.

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.
