Reserve

2011 Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc

The Land Of Hope Reserve Chenin Blanc from the renowned Stellenbosch region is a delightful expression of this versatile varietal. This full-bodied white wine presents a high level of acidity, offering a mouthwatering and refreshing experience. It showcases a prominent fruit intensity, with vibrant notes of ripe apples and honeyed citrus that dance across the palate, making it truly irresistible. The dryness of this wine enhances its crisp profile, while the subtle nuances of minerality provide complexity without overpowering the fruit. The careful craftsmanship evident in this vintage from 2011 makes it a standout choice for both casual sipping and elegant dining occasions.

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.
