White River Chenin Blanc 2015

There’s never been a better time to buy South African wine. The nation excelled at the most recent International Wine Challenge, exchange rates are in your favour, and quality is at an all time high. Mind you, De Wet Lategan has delivered refreshment and flavour year after year with his bestselling White River Chenin Blanc. It comes from his family’s Bergsig Estate, which lies between the Breede River and the Du Toitskloof mountains, close to the super premium Stellenbosch region. Bursting with lively, ripe pear, apple and tropical fruit flavours, White River manages to capture the beauty and wildness of this unspoilt, unique location. There’s a fresh grassiness, too, which makes this Chenin a great partner for aromatic Thai dishes.
