- A true showcase of the versatility and depth of South African Chenin Blanc. Light straw colour with a golden hue, white peach, citrus, and pineapple aromas. This elegant wine's rich and ripe mouthfeel is balanced by vibrant acidity and subtle minerality. The nose mixes ripe pineapples, citrus, and stone fruits. These flavours continue on the palate, where a savoury, mineral streak complements them. It is full-bodied and has a rich, mouth-filling texture lifted by a refreshing acidity on the long, harmonious finish.
Analytical data
dry
This lovely wine is light straw with a golden hue. Showing white peach, citrus, and pineapple notes on the nose, this wine has a rich and ripe mouth-feel coupled with vibrant acidity, contributing to the lingering zesty finish.
The Lievland Old Vine Chenin Blanc is made from dry-farmed vineyards aged between 38 and 45. This aromatic and intensely fruity wine is a stunning showcase of the versatility of Chenin Blanc.
Lievland is one of the most venerable estates in Stellenbosch; it has recently come under the ownership of two Cape stalwarts, José Stark-Condé and Tyrell Myburgh, who have grand plans to return the property to its illustrious former standing. Their assured touch is already bearing fruit, with the introduction of two Chenin Blancs demonstrating just how versatile this variety can be in the Cape. Lievlander is the junior of the two and is made in a crisp and fruit-forward style, whilst the premium bottling is sourced from older vines and expresses a richer style, perfectly framed by the measured use of oak.
