The Le Courier Chenin Blanc from Old Road Wine Co. Winery is a complex Chenin Blanc with aromas of fresh apricots, peach, honey and flowers on the nose.
Further layers follow on the palate, with soft vanilla, intense peach and hints of pear. Its ripe stone fruit aromas lead to a long-lasting finish.
Le Courier Chenin Blanc 2023 pays homage to the delivery person of the time, who braved rain or shine to bring the villagers their daily fresh produce.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
