Indaba Chenin Blanc

Indaba Chenin Blanc

Indaba is a gateway to a sunny state of mind. Fresh, everyday, and easy-drinking, with a quality that is unbeatable. Indaba is the Zulu word for ‘a meeting of the minds’; the wine label was created as a celebration of the democratisation in South Africa.

Indaba’s Chenin is produced using 100% Chenin Blanc grapes, grown in soils such as Table Mountain sandstone, decomposed Dolomite granite, shale, and red Karoo clay. Aged on its lees in a tank for five months with occasional lees stirring, while a small portion (1%) are whole-bunch pressed straight to 300-liter French oak barrels, where it ferments naturally and ages on the lees for a further five months.

Chenin Blanc is South Africa’s most widely planted varietal and the Cape’s signature white. This fresh, easy-drinking version offers vibrant flavors of honeyed pear, golden delicious apple and luscious tropical fruit.

A commitment to social responsibility has always been a key part of the Indaba philosophy, with a portion of the proceeds from the wine’s global sales funding the Indaba Foundation, under which Indaba is taking its long-standing commitment to education a step further by shifting its focus to the crucial area of early childhood development. The foundation provides Montessori teacher training to support children living in vulnerable conditions in the South African Winelands, as well as providing learning materials and educational infrastructure to schools established for wineland worker’s children.
