About this Item

2016 Rooidraai Chenin Blanc
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Growing wine is the main focus of cousins Danie and Hugo Carinus and when you factor in their close relationship with Lukas Van Loggerenberg, South Africa’s ‘Rockstar winemaker’, you get something absolutely delicious. Danie and Hugo grow their grapes in Devon Valley, Polkadraai and Swartland and supply some of the leading wine producers with these sought-after grapes. They are 5th generation wine growers, and also Wine Cellar Young Guns™.

Winemakers personal tasting note:

'On the nose-Peach blossom, apple and a hint of fynbos.The palate is focussed and precise. It has a honeymoon tension-nervous at first but shows a stately confidence as things progress. The 2016 vintage delivers pure Chenin Fruit with precision. Sharp, yet beautifully balanced acidity with a long finish.' - Danie Carinus

'One of the most important wines of the year' - Cyril Ramaphosa SONA 2018*
