Regna Loca Semillon 2024 reveals itself as a multifaceted wine with expressive notes of lemon zest, vibrant citrus aromas, and subtle dried fruit tones of Sémillon Gris. On the palate it impresses with a creamy texture and precise structure – a lively acidity carries the flavors into a long, elegant finish. The 2024 vintage in Franschhoek benefited from a wet winter 2023 that created optimal soil conditions, followed by warm, dry conditions with targeted irrigation. Despite lower yields, the harvest achieved extraordinary concentration and acidity balance. The vinification was 100% from whole grapes, fermented in amphorae and barrels, then aged for ten months – a process that combines complexity and elegance.
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.
