Tales Chenin Blanc
Vintage 2024

Bright pale yellow flecked with light golden highlights. The nose reveals white-fleshed fruit (pear and peach) and exotic fruit. The characteristic freshness on the palate comes from the terroir. The fruitiness is underlined by a touch from the Verdelho. This moreish wine is as well suited to an aperitif as to a meal at the table.

Story
The Sun, the Legend of a Bushman, is a radiant tale that has been told to South Africans since the 18th century. The legend tells of the origins of the sun, which was once a man whom the people sent up to the sky so that he could bring light and warmth to the whole world… This Chenin Blanc draws its fruity aromas from South Africa’s generous, rich sunshine, allowing the grapes to give this cuvée notes of white-fleshed fruit and remarkable roundness.
