Chenin Blanc, 2023

Kottabos Chenin Blanc is a skin contact white that Reenen stresses is “not a funky, natural wine. I want to show the beautiful texture that we can achieve, something that has its own profile and works as a great pairing with food.” The 2023 has a well delineated orange blossom, herb and spice-driven feel with excellent fruit weight and texture at 12.5%. Each year this comes across finer. From two sites, one in the Karibib Farm and the other a neighbour of the Boschkloof estate, both in the Polkadraai Hills.
