Information about "Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc 2025"
The Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc presents a vibrant straw-yellow color, captivating with its enticing aroma profile. This delightful medium-bodied white wine, originating from venerable Chenin Blanc vines in Piekenierskloof, unfolds a bouquet highlighted by notes of fruit salad, vanilla, and lemon meringue. On the palate, it reveals flavors of pineapple, dried apple, and chamomile, accompanied by a creamy, dry mouthfeel and lively acidity, with hints of almond biscuit, lemon cream, and a whisper of white pepper. The term Steen refers to the ancient Afrikaans name for Chenin Blanc, while Donkiesbaai translates to 'Donkey Bay'—a picturesque coastal bay on the West Coast.
Its complexity is a product of the distinctive terroir found in the Piekenierskloof region, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and easily approachable.
The grapes for the Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc were destemmed, crushed, pressed, and allowed to rest overnight, then fermented in a blend of stainless steel tanks, French barrels, and concrete eggs.
