Swartland Winery Chenin Blanc image

Swartland Winery Chenin Blanc

Swartland, South Africa

Aged for 6 months in second and third use oak barrels, the wine offers aromas of dried fruit, peach, apricot and citrus hints, with follow-through on the palate. An intense wine with well-integrated oak and a creamy finish.

Swartland Winery Bush Vines Chenin is a single-varietal white from South Africa’s renowned Swartland region. Made from old bush vines planted on dry, rocky soils, this Chenin offers a concentrated yet fresh style that highlights the grape’s versatility and the region’s rugged character.

Aromas of ripe pear, quince, and subtle honey, with hints of fresh herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, textured layers, and a long, clean finish showcasing stone fruit and a touch of minerality.

Contains sulphites.

  • Grilled chicken with herbs
  • Spiced vegetable tagine
  • Seafood paella
  • Soft, creamy cheeses
  • Roasted butternut squash

The “bush vines” refer to the old, low-trained Chenin vines that thrive without irrigation in Swartland’s challenging dry soils. This natural stress on the vines concentrates flavours and produces a wine with remarkable depth and purity, reflecting the resilience of both the vines and the region.
