Wellington Wines La Cave Chenin Blanc 2020

Shy at rst, the Chenin leaves you breathless after ageing a few years in the bottle. This dramatic wine is an African sunset in a bottle made to be aged. The golden straw colour promises rich tones of butterscotch, cinnamon sticks and mellow stone fruit. The palate is soft and round, and the crisp acidity, lingering wood spice and buttered toast.

The perfect match for hard cheeses, creamy white meat dishes and seafood.

AWARDS

2021 Veritas Awards - Bronze

Our agship range celebrates the early years of winemaking when wines were stored in caves during maturation and the recent discovery of a series of caves below our very own cellar. The grapes for the wines are meticulously hand-selected from the very best vineyard blocks and we gently handle the grapes in the cellar with minimal disruption. The range consists of a Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Cape Blend and Shiraz, with our red wines matured in small first-fill French oak barrels before being bottled.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand-picked early morning at 23 degrees Balling.

in the cellar : Grapes were harvested from one vineyard block of 27 year old bush vines. The wine was fermented in new French oak barrels and aged in the same barrels for 12 months.
