Paarl, South Africa — Chenin Blanc

From old bush vines at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Mountains, Brookdale’s Chenin Blanc is a masterclass in balance and texture. Ripe quince, pear and lemon curd meet notes of honeycomb and toasted almond, with a creamy richness lifted by vibrant acidity. It’s layered, elegant and full of quiet confidence.

Perfect with roast guinea fowl, buttery shellfish or a rich vegetable tart. This is serious Chenin — complex yet graceful, and a shining example of South Africa’s world-class winemaking.
