Beaumont Chenin Blanc 2026
R188.00
Since our first vintage in 1996 we have committed to making a style of Chenin that captures the purity of the grape. Previous vintages have been regular 4 star wines in Platter.
Wet cold winter with heavy rain in September allowed the wines to get through the very dry season. Clean healthy fruit came into the cellar. Early picking to preserve freshness, and balance in the wine. Our new press produced gave us very clean juice and I think it has had a very positive effect on this vintage. Long slow fermentation. Average of 4 months on gross lees in tank. 2 – 5 years ageing potential.
Description
Sebastian and his team are fortunate to have 40 years of viticulture experience on this unique farm.
His wine making approach is instinctive, believing that wine is made in the vineyards and minimal intervention is needed. Ancient, low-yielding Chenin Blanc and Pinotage vines are honoured in the process, allowing the wines to be a true reflection of the land and vineyards. He has a hands-on approach to wine-making, using old-cellar techniques like natural yeasts and old open concrete ‘’kuipe’’ fermenters.
His non-conformist approach embraces the old but also creatively uses modern winemaking techniques to produce limited quantities of specialised, characterful and authentic wines.
