Description
The Tiernes Chenin Blanc from the Paardeberg is a true expression of its terroir, grown on decomposed granite-rich soils in the 1983-planted old vine vineyard. The wine is bright, fragrant, and mineral, with complex aromas of white blossom, green pears, wet hay, and fynbos. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied, vibrant profile with flavors of nectarine, peach, and pear, enhanced by a salty, mineral essence. A wine of finesse and greatness, perfect for cellaring.
Drink: Now to 10-15+ years.
Rating: 97+/100 – Greg Sherwood MW.
Food Pairing: Ideal with grilled seafood, sushi, or creamy cheeses.
