Description
The New Dawn White is composed of 54% Chenin Blanc, 42% Roussanne, and 4% Verdelho. All fruit is sourced from certified
sustainable vineyards across the Western Cape region. Each variety was chosen for its distinct contribution: Chenin Blanc
provides the backbone with its crisp acidity and versatility, Roussanne adds richness and aromatic complexity, while Verdelho
brings a touch of exotic fruit and textural intrigue.
Producer Profile
New Dawn Wines is the vision of Rüdger van Wyk, a trailblazing South African winemaker whose journey from the coastal town of George to Burgundy and back reflects both personal and national transformation. Inspired by his father’s unrealised dreams, forged by the discipline of competitive swimming, and shaped by a decade crafting world-class Cabernet at Stark-Condé, Rüdger founded New Dawn to break from convention and redefine South African wine on his own terms. Rooted in the country’s ancient soils and vibrant culture, New Dawn represents a bold leap forward—a movement that marries fresh perspectives with exceptional skill, creating wines that speak of heritage, ambition, and evolution. Each bottle is crafted not just for today’s tables, but for future generations, signalling that South African wine’s moment on the world stage has truly arrived.
