2019 Radford Dale Renaissance Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch

Alex Dale refers to Chenin Blanc as "South Africa's noblest grape" and it's hard to disagree when you taste a wine like this. Elegant and subtly wooded, this is all about balance and freshness, with fennel and lemongrass aromas, lemon and green apple flavours and the concentration and extract to age.

Often shunned and disrespected by winemakers and consumers alike, there is, in certain worthy quarters, an ascending realisation of the tremendous potential of this grape, Chenin Blanc - South Africa’s most noble grape. As devotees of true character and finesse often swim upstream against the populous tide, a fresh generation of Chenin producers is bringing to the surface some of the most interesting, bright, mineral and idiosyncratic wines of the Cape.
