South Africa

Hailing from the renowned Stellenbosch region, the 2023 Mick and Jeanine Craven Chenin Blanc is a vibrant showcase of what South African Chenin Blanc can offer. This wine greets the palate with a lively burst of ripe lemon and green apple, while the wine's pronounced acidity cuts through the fruitiness with precision, adding a layer of complexity and ensuring a long, crisp finish.

The wine's vibrant acidity and fruit-forward nature make it an excellent match for a variety of dishes. A classic pairing would be with seafood, particularly grilled fish or a ceviche, where the wine's acidity complements the dish's flavors. For a vegetarian option, a green apple and walnut salad with a light vinaigrette dressing would mirror the wine's crisp fruitiness, creating a harmonious dining experience. Another delightful pairing could be with a light, herbed goat cheese, which would contrast beautifully with the wine's acidity, bringing out the nuances of both the cheese and the wine.
