Gabriel & Gysbert Welville Chenin Blanc
VARIETAL:
Dry Chenin Blanc (<5g/l or up to 9g/l if TA <2g/l lower)

VINTAGE:
2024

MORE INFORMATION:
Appearance – A pale yellow colour with a clear, bright edge. Nose – A beautifully vibrant aroma of orange blossoms and a grapefruit note is complemented by a hint of richness, balanced against a fresh acidity. Palate – The approach shows a citrus richness with notes of orange marmalade, kumquat and grapefruit that lead to an aromatic Oriental vibrancy with flavours of Yuzu, ending in a lingering floral elegance.

This Chenin Blanc is quite special, in that the Old Vine yield less fruit, yet has excellent concentration. Paired with a gruyere salad with grilled nectarines, or buttery west-coast sole is an option for summer, while Peking duck, hearty roasted root vegetable dishes or marmalade glazed gammon will be perfect for winter.
