Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Kin Chardonnay from Winery Te Kano is an elegant and complex white wine that reflects the characteristics of the Central Otago region.
On the nose, aromas of peach and apple unfold, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and a hint of yeast. These fragrance notes continue on the palate and are complemented by a soft, satin-like texture and a balanced acidity. The finish is harmonious and persistent.
The wine was partially fermented in oak barrels and aged on the lees, which contributes to its complexity and depth.

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.
