A well-balanced Swartland Chenin Blanc from Carinus Family Vineyards. The 2020 saw 10 months in old French oak and shows a wonderful yellow-fruited profile with lemon-grass complexity, together with notes of honey-dew melons and oatmeal, rounded off with a nicely saline finish.

Producer Information

Cousins Danie and Hugo are 5th generation growers with prime vineyards in the Swartland, Devon Valley and the very exciting Polkadraai ward in Stellenbosch. Great wine is made in the vineyards and they supply a roll-call of exceptional producers names like Alheit Vineyards, Crystallum, Raats Family Wines, Thorne & Daughters, Mulderbosch & LeRiche to name but a few. Embodying the drive of the new generation Hugo and Danie decided not only to sell grapes and have other people make great wines from them but to make some wine too. So started Carinus Family Wines using their selection from their 100s hectares to focus on what works in each area.
