The 2023 Radford Dale Renaissance Chenin Blanc is a benchmark Stellenbosch white, crafted from old bush vines on the slopes of the Helderberg to express purity, minerality and finesse. Fermented in old oak and aged on lees, it reflects a modern, terroir-driven style that highlights both texture and freshness. The nose is complex and lifted, showing citrus, green apple and white peach, layered with notes of honey, blossom and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a textured, slightly creamy mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity and a distinct saline minerality. Flavours of lemon zest, pear and stone fruit lead to a long, precise and refreshing finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Chenin Blanc and a great alternative to white Burgundy—offering minerality, texture and aging potential. Ideal for customers who enjoy complex, food-driven whites. Drink now or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with seafood, poultry or creamy dishes.
