Tasting notes
The Northburn Sauvignon Blanc from Winery Te Kano is a expressive and elegant white wine that reflects the uniqueness of the Northburn terroir in Central Otago.
In the nose, intense aromas of citrus fruits unfold, accompanied by fine notes of mandarin peel and white stone fruits. A subtle mineral note adds additional complexity to the bouquet.
On the palate, the Te Kano Northburn Sauvignon Blanc presents a vibrant acidity and a pleasant texture, supported by the use of yeast aging. Fresh, ripe citrus notes and a hint of tropical fruits lead to a balanced and lingering 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.
