Hazy View Chenin Blanc

Hazy View Chenin Blanc

20 years after the end of Apartheid, South Africa is finally making the wines it always
promised it would. Hazy View wines are specially selected, blended and bottled for us
to typify the classic South African grape varieties

Vineyard
Sourced from vineyards in the Western Cape and produced at our partner winery in
Paarl. The vineyards are situated in the mountainous and biologically diverse area in
the South Western corner of Africa. The overall climate here is typically Mediterranean,
but the mountainous landscape creates mesoclimates that are ideal for creating
quality wines. The oceanic breezes from the Atlantic and the warmer currents of the
Indian Ocean meet around the Cape of South Africa, influencing and refreshing the
Western Cape vineyards.
Winemaking
The grapes were not crushed but were left in contact with skins and macerated for six
hours, at a controlled temperature of approximately 6°C. The fruit was then crushed
and fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks at 16°C until dry. Malolactic
conversion did not take place, resulting in a crisp, fresh style of wine.
TastingNote
Fresh and aromatic, this easy-drinking Chenin Blanc shows gentle aromas of tangy
green apples and is beautifully balanced with a crisp acidity and a deliciously fruity
finish.
Grape
Chenin Blanc 100%

• This is a classic South African Chenin Blanc. Fresh and dry, it is a step up on most entry-level Chenins and never fails to please
• Aromatic white, showing gentle aromas of tangy green apples and beautifully balanced with a crisp acidity and a deliciously fruity finish.
• All in all, Hazy View’s take on this popular wine has resulted in a great all-rounder which works with or without food. It’s not overly punchy on the alcohol either.
