David & Nadia David&Nadia Chenin BLanc HK
A Chenin Blanc from South Africa that shows what the Swartland region is capable of: spontaneously fermented, complex and with a depth that one would not expect at this price level.
David and Nadia Sadie run their small winery in the Swartland region north of Cape Town. Their focus is on old vines, minimal intervention in the cellar, and spontaneous fermentation with natural vineyard yeasts – a philosophy that prioritizes the terroir character over the winemaker's personal style.
In the glass, the Chenin Blanc displays bright golden hues. The nose offers aromas of quince, white peach, and a hint of beeswax – typical of Chenin fermented with vineyard yeasts. On the palate, a lively acidity keeps the wine fresh and lingering despite its richness. The finish brings a delicate, salty minerality reminiscent of the chalky soils of the Swartland hills.
