Winery Eenzaamheid
The family farm is located in the vast area between Paarl Mountain and Paardeberg. Due to its size, the farm supplies, among others, leading wineries with bushvines and new grape varieties, such as Grenache Noir and Malbec of extremely high quality.
Tasting notes
The Vin Blanc from Winery Eenzaamheid presents itself as a refreshing, unoaked cuvée, consisting of 60% Chenin Blanc, 30% Grenache Blanc, and 10% Viognier. The Chenin Blanc imparts enticing aromas of tropical fruits to the wine, underlined by fine nuances of stone fruit and crisp Granny Smith apple.
A lively yet harmoniously integrated acidity ensures freshness and balance. The Grenache Blanc complements this cuvée with an elegant texture, bringing out notes of white peach, melon, and elderflower. The Viognier perfectly rounds off the profile with floral nuances, fresh apricot, peaches, and a hint of cream. The palate is fresh and structured, supported by a precise, linear acidity. The finish impresses with lasting minerality and fruity finesse – ideal as a summer wine that combines lightness 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.
