The name \u003ci\u003eSteen op Hout\u003c\/i\u003e —Afrikaans for \u0026quot;stone on wood\u0026quot;—refers to the combination of its mineral origin and aging in oak barrels. Chenin Blanc, traditionally called \u0026quot;Steen\u0026quot; in South Africa, has been cultivated here for decades and finds ideal conditions in Stellenbosch: cool sea breezes from the Atlantic, well-drained soils, and long ripening periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the wine opens with aromas of papaya, gooseberry, and ripe melon, complemented by Chenin Blanc\u0026#39;s typical notes of white pear, peach, and apricot, along with a delicate hint of flint. On the palate, lees aging contributes to a smooth, rounded texture—lively acidity and a salty-mineral note maintain the balance. The finish is persistent, clean, and structured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with grilled sea bass, chicken with lemon and herbs, creamy pasta dishes, or mature goat cheese. Also a good choice as an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mulderbosch","offers":[{"title":"2025","offer_id":53001758376272,"sku":"VJ0599-2025","price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/605122.jpg?v=1778611424","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/mulderbosch-steen-op-hout-chenin-blanc","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
