2021 Bloem Chenin Blanc-Viognier Paarl

Winemaker Notes:   Chenin Blanc is one of the oldest & most widely-planted grape varieties in South Africa. We blend this fruitful wine with Viognier to add weight and earthiness. Citrus blossom and stone fruit aromas are followed by creamy peach flavours and a crisp finish. This wine is picked early to retain fresh aromas and fermented in stainless steel tanks. It is matured on the lees for a short period after fermentation to give the wine a creamy texture.

The Cape Floral Kingdom is the smallest and most biodiverse of the world’s six floral kingdoms. Bloem (pronounced “bloom", from the Dutch word for “flower"), captures the essence of this unique and dynamic ecosystem with refreshing fruit aromas, clean, creamy flavours, and a hint of exotic spice.
