Oldenburg Chenin Blanc 2024

R518.00

The 2024 vintage offers a luminous pale lemon hue in the glass. On the nose, it exudes quiet elegance, with lifted aromas of lime zest, wild nettle, and dried hay, underscored by subtle notes of fennel bulb, chamomile, and a hint of flint. A whisper of brioche and delicate vanilla from oak maturation adds further dimension. The palate is taut and poised, with bright acidity and a fine mineral line carrying flavours of lemon pith, green pear, and crushed herbs. The alcohol is finely balanced at 13.3%, lending the wine a lighter frame and graceful tension. A chalky, saline finish lingers, promising rewarding evolution in bottle.

ANALYSIS: ALC 13.3% | RS 2.6 g/l | TA 5.4 g/L | pH 3.25
