Joostenberg Family Chenin blanc '23

South Africa.....
The vineyards lie on the western edge of the Paarl region. The climate is Mediterranean i.e. cold wet winters and dry summers. Soils are a combination of decomposed granite and Malmesbury shale. In order to optimize the influence of terroir, all of the vineyards are managed according to organic principles and some are farmed without any irrigation.
This is a fresh, un-oaked white wine made for family and friends; the palate is floral,fruit forward with hints of mineral in the back ground, nice, long fatty finish.
It’s a wine for any occasion and drinks well with or without food. The wine is certified as “organic in conversion".
