Neethlingshof brings back Chenin Blanc
De Wet Viljoen, winemaker at Neethlingshof, has produced the first Chenin Blanc in almost a decade since his arrival at the farm but he is not breaking new ground, as decades ago it was the dominant cultivar, accounting for almost 70% of production.
"The first block was planted in 2008 and the young vines produced only their second crop this year. I will only bottle a wine when completely satisfied with it. Last year, the first crop was blended away in other wines for the vines were just too young to produce the intensity of fruit we need. This year the quality is much better and I have no qualms about putting our name to this addition to our range."
The 2012 Neethlingshof Chenin Blanc will be available in stores from around mid-July and is expected to retail for between R35 and R40 a bottle.
