On the nose the wine has tension and vibrant aromas of yellow pear, pineapple, green apple, lemon citrus and wet minerals.  Mouthfeel has a refreshing zingy-ness, nice weight of citrusy fruits and dry, crisp finish.  Pair this one with oyters in a mignonette sauce, shrimp tacos with a tropical salsa, or a creme fraiche pizza with lardons.  

The Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc is a relatively new addition to the Rustenberg portfolio. Though Chenin Blanc has not been planted on the estate since the late 1980’s, there is an abundance of superb bush vine Chenin Blanc in Stellenbosch, which we discovered in sourcing fruit for the Straw Wine each vintage. Grapes were hand harvested from 4 different bush vine blocks, 20 to 35 years old, in the Bottelary sub-region of Stellenbosch. This wine is a Rustenberg take on a varietal synonymous with South Africa. 

100% bushvine Chenin Blanc fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 2 months.
