About This Wine


Posted Accord

Chenin Blanc

In Swartland, South Africa, vineyards are planted in varying locations, from steep mountain foothills to rolling hillsides, and they experience a classic continental climate. Just 40 miles north of Cape Town, the region experiences hot, dry, and sunny days during the growing season. In the afternoon, breezes sweep in from the bordering Atlantic Ocean, giving relief to vines and allowing them to develop intense and beautiful acidity. Winemakers love the salinity that the maritime influence provides, and vines are meticulously farmed across the entire appellation. Our winemaking partners have been crafting beautiful bottles in the region for years, and our Chenin Blanc from Posted Accord is no exception. Sourced from fruit grown on land with deep granite soils, this wine is fruit-forward, rich, and textural. A multi-award-winner, this wine took home 94 points and a Platinum Medal from the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Swartland

Swartland is one of South Africa's largest wine regions, famed for its mouthwatering Chenin Blancs, fragrant Syrahs and punchy Pinotage. Forty miles north of Cape Town, Swartland covers a large area from the Atlantic Ocean to the sun-kissed plains of Piketberg. The region has a hot, dry climate away from the cooling ocean, with ancient shale and granite-based soils. This forces the vines to work hard, producing small but concentrated grapes.

"There's an Afrikaans term, fynbos, that describes the unique vegetation that grows on the Cape of South Africa. There's a touch of fynbos on this pleasant Chenin Blanc that supports the citrus fruit and adds depth. Very interesting wine!" – Rich Cook, 2021 Monterey Int'l Wine Competition.
