Chenin Blanc 2024 - Single

Luddite Chenin Blanc 2024 is a meticulously crafted South African white wine from the esteemed Luddite winery in Bot River, Western Cape. This vintage showcases the winery's commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and expressive terroir-driven wines. The 2024 vintage involved an extended skin contact period of up to 30 days, enhancing the wine's texture and complexity.

Fermentation occurred naturally in open fermenters, with regular punch-downs to maintain a homogeneous ferment. Post-fermentation, the wine was pressed directly to barrel with ample sediment to promote richness and depth, followed by regular b*tonnage. Tasting Notes: Appearance: Pale straw in colour.

Nose: Aromatic notes of golden sultanas, honey, and white pear. Palate: Savory and salty entry with a broad, pithy mid-palate. Dominant flavors of gooseberry and lime lead to a long, dry finish that evolves with exposure to air. Best Enjoyed: This wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, creamy cheeses, or can be savored on its own to appreciate its intricate layers.
