Boschendal Estate Sommelier Selection Chenin Blanc 2024
Vintage Character
Boschendal Estate Sommelier Selection Chenin Blanc 2024 is a white from Coastal Region, South Africa, made from Chenin Blanc. South Africa's 2024 season followed heavy winter rain and local flooding, then spring wind and some frost that reduced fruit set. Warmer, drier summer weather moved ripening forward, leaving a smaller overall crop and making vineyard selection important. In this Sommelier Selection white, the question is how early fruit and retained acidity balance, not whether the season was uniformly hot. It is a fresh, food-friendly white, with Chenin's orchard-fruit texture to the fore.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Green apple, pear, melon and a little honeyed orchard fruit make this Chenin inviting without making it sweet. The palate is dry, fresh and medium bodied, with a clear citrus line through its rounded fruit. It is designed for the table and suits grilled seafood, chicken salad and mild spice. Serve it cool and give the fruit a few minutes to open in the glass. The orchard-fruit and citrus balance works with food because the rounded fruit is checked by freshness, leaving a clean rather than sweet impression.
Winery Background
Boschendal's Sommelier Selection is built around food compatibility rather than a vineyard classification. The estate, founded in 1685, draws on specialist red and white teams and site selection across Cape regions. Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc each have their own character within the range.
