2017 Chenin Blanc / Verdelho, Momento, Western Cape

2017 Chenin Blanc / Verdelho, Momento, Western Cape

This has notes of greengage and honeysuckle, but it’s really all about the texture of this remarkable Chenin, with a drop of Verdelho. Elegant, finessed and long. Bravo.

Tasting notes

One of a pair of brilliant whites from Marelise Niemann in 2018, this marries two-thirds Chenin Blanc from the Swartland and Bot River with one third Verdelho from the Voor Paardeberg. Taut, leesy and well balanced, it's a very harmonious, confident blend of the two grapes, with stone fruit sweetness partnered by zesty acidity.
