Vondeling Wines lies on the slopes of the pristine Paardeberg in South Africa, about 45 minutes from Cape Town. The winery's history goes back to 1704 and today combines over 300 years of viticultural tradition with a modern, sustainable approach. Through environmentally friendly farming and minimal interventions in the cellar, characterful wines are created with a clear provenance. The winery's top wines bear the names of rare Fynbos species that occur exclusively on Paardeberg and reflect the close connection between nature, origin and craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
Komplex und ausdrucksstark mit feiner Balance aus Frucht, Frische und dezentem Holzeinfluss. Am Gaumen verbinden sich reife Frucht, cremige Textur und eine präzise Mineralität zu einem langen, eleganten Finish.
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.
