An intriguing bouquet of guava and quince, framed by subtle vanilla notes.
e Monk Stone Chenin Blanc gets
its name from the large boulder which
punctuates the dramatic vineyard
block, situated at an elevation of
approximately 300m. Hovering high
above the valley, this bush-vine
vineyard is planted along dramatic
terraces which were sculpted to
prevent rain erosion. e wave and
ripple patterns formed by these
terraces, together with the large
boulder recall a traditional Japanese
rock garden, and hence the name
“Monk Stone.

The Monk Stone 2025 Chenin Blanc sees this wine return to the top of its game, taking full advantage of this incredible vintage in the Cape. Rich, intense and powerful, this Chenin reveals punchy aromatics of green melon, white peach blossom, ripe yellow apples, pear puree and a dusting of savoury biscuit complexity, mealy leesy vanilla notes and wet thatch nuances. The palate shows an optimally ripe block buster weight, focus and textural power with a super intense cordial like concentration, tangy green apple and white peach fruits, tart pineapple chunks and a long, mouth watering acid freshness on the finish. Only the very best vintages offer this kind of intensity combined with harmony and balance. Simply stunning. Drink now to 2035+.
