Grande Provence Chenin Blanc strikes gold at Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show
08:37:00
Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate has struck gold with the maiden vintage of its new single varietal Chenin Blanc at the 2018 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show.
Crafted in a
vibrant, fruit driven style from Helderberg and Franschhoek fruit, the Grande
Provence Chenin Blanc 2017 is elegant and dry with flavours of stone fruit and
hints of tropical notes. This wine captures the classic characteristics and
purity of Chenin Blanc in a manner that is accessible, yet complex.
For winemaker Hagen
Viljoen, the 2017 vintage represents a pure expression of freshness, elegance
and hints of complexity – all the key elements to strive for in quality Chenin
Blanc winemaking.
In addition to
the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show gold medal, the Grande Provence Chenin Blanc
has been selected for British Airways First Class lounges at South African
airports.
With National Drink Chenin Blanc Day coming up on Friday,
15 June, you’ll want to enjoy a glass or two of this award winning wine – or
better still, pop in for a tasting at the Grande Provence tasting room in
Franschhoek. The wine is available at selected wine outlets country-wide and sells
at the cellar door for R95 a bottle.
