2017 DeMorgenzon Stellenbosch Walvian Chenin Blanc-Sauvignon Blanc

Freshly scented dry white wine with notes of citrus fruit, boxwood and apple. The taste is fresh, juicy and balanced with a fragrant aftertaste

 

Carl van der Merwe is one of the Cape's great winemaker talents. As cellar master of the leading DeMorgenzon Estate in Stellenbosch, he has access to great quality grapes. He selected a few successful cuves chenin blanc and sauvignon blanc to bottle as a blend exclusively for us under the Walvisch label. The majority of the grapes come from old bush vines in the Bottelary Hills subdistrict of Stellenbosch that provide a nice flavor concentration. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is bottled quickly, so without oak maturation. This makes the taste wonderfully fresh and mouth-filling. Perfect for drinking or serving with light (fish) dishes.
