Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2024 reveals a subtle but elegant nose, opening from initial restraint to delicate notes of winter melon, prickly pear, and warm hay. As the wine unfolds, aromas of ginger, honeycomb, and warm baking spice reveal themselves. The palate is rich and opulent, with a silky, mouth-coating texture carrying layers of preserved ginger, poached pear, warm honey, and sweet spices. The wine is poised and lingering, with a gentle marmalade and citrus pith nuance adding freshness, complexity, and finesse to the finish.
It pairs beautifully with richly textured dishes such as honey-mustard roast chicken, pork belly with caramelised apple or a Moroccan tagine. Also superb with mature washed-rind cheeses or almond tart.
