2018 Chenin Blanc / Verdelho, Momento, Western Cape
Wary of the propensity of Chenin Blanc to lose acidity when ripening, Marelise wanted something to add vibrancy to the white. The Chenin comes from a 1979-planted vineyard on the Paardeberg, from the same farm as the Grenache, and a 1982-planted vineyard in Botrivier, while the Verdelho comes from the Voor Paardeberg. This is a beautifully elegant, textured white.
