An aromatic, full-bodied white with aromas of mangoes, papayas, honeysuckle, grilled herbs and beeswax. Textural and lightly oily, with a fresh minerality on the finish. From vines up to 70-years-old, predominantly chenin blanc (around 75%), with viognier, clairette blanche, semillon gris, grenache blanc and verdelho. Drink now.

The 2022 White Old Vines comes from vines up to 70 years old, 75% Chenin Blanc with several other varieties. Aged almost a year in barrels and foudres, the perfumed bouquet offers hazelnut, dried honey and yellow fruit aromas. The palate is waxy in texture, very well-balanced, and understated on the entry. Then, there is a wave of slightly honeyed pithy fruit that feels very voluminous and well-defined. Quite a multi-faceted Chenin blend, this will age beautifully in bottle. (NM)

Email PhilipTHIS CHENIN BLANC IS CURRENTLY ON K&L'S OPEN CELLAR TASTING MENU! Old vine Steen from the Swartland, South Africa's largest wine producing area characterized by hot and dry weather producing rich, ripe, fruit-forward wines. Mainly Chenin Blanc with heightened aromatics from the minority grapes. Floral, honeyed, lemon cream, butter, and graham cracker make up this rich, round and voluptuous white blend with a waxy texture. The old vines produce concentration and a nutty tropical finish.
