Chenin Blanc Rousanne | Ses’fikile Wines (Box of 6)

R1,080,00

An outstanding wine which is reminiscent of it’s own Cinderella story.

Once upon a time, Chenin Blanc was a hardworking grape, often overlooked despite its versatility until winemaker Madre van der Walt introduced Chenin Blanc to Roussanne, a grape of extraordinary grace and sophistication. Blended together in fermentation these two grape varieties have created a wine that zings with a vibrant acidity, lush fruitiness and a twist of complexity giving rare-blend a robust body that has muscle.
