2012 Western Cape Chenin Blanc

Nederburg Foundation Chenin Blanc from the 2012 vintage is a delightful representation of the Western Cape's exquisite winemaking abilities. This white wine showcases a medium body, offering a perfect balance that is both approachable and refreshing.

The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring notes of ripe stone fruit and hints of citrus that dance harmoniously on the tongue. As for sweetness, this wine leans toward a dry profile, allowing its clean and crisp flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
