South Africa might not be the first country you think of when it comes to winemaking, but don’t sleep on this up-and-coming wine (and travel) destination. We feel confident that this Chenin Blanc just might be enough to convince you, with an enchanting straw yellow color and aromas of stone fruits and white blossoms. The palate is crisp on the tongue, full and rich in the mouth, and luscious and creamy on the finish.

Terroir, a French term meaning “a sense of place,” is not just a description but a declaration of authenticity. The grapes for this Chenin Blanc are sustainably farmed and hand-harvested, showcasing the care that’s taken to craft a precise and beautiful wine. Add South Africa to your next travel itinerary and this Chenin Blanc to your next night of takeout. With fruity sweetness and high acidity, it tastes delicious alongside Pad Thai or Peking duck.
