Whale Shark Chenin

2005 Western Cape, South Africa Chenin Blanc

The Shark Trust Whale Shark Chenin showcases the delightful characteristics of the Chenin Blanc varietal hailing from the renowned Western Cape region of South Africa. This captivating white wine presents a light to medium body that invites you to savor every sip. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing mouthfeel that perfectly balances the fruit intensity, which is prominent with notes of ripe stone fruits and zesty citrus. This Chenin exhibits a delightful dryness, allowing the flavors to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. This 2005 vintage is not only a testament to the quality of the grapes grown in its unique microclimate but also serves as a reminder of the important conservation efforts supported by its name. Enjoy this wonderful wine on its own or paired with seafood dishes for an unforgettable experience.
