2023 Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Brookdale Estate, Paarl
New release
While Xander Sadie replaced Kiara Scott with the 2025 harvest, this 2023 vintage Old Vine Chenin was made by Kiara. From old vine Chenin Blanc, planted in 1985, which is grown on decomposed shale and granite. It is a wonderfully tense and vibrant wine that offers restrained aromatics of quince, acacia and golden citrus with a subtle flintiness. This really sings through the palate with intense notes of peach and kumquat.
