Klippenkop Chenin Blanc

Located in the town and region of Robertson, Klippenkop is one of the most famous wineries in South Africa. The estate got established in 1941 as a venture and endeavour when several families came together with the same aim and objective in the district of Cape Winelands. The winery derives its name from two separate terms- “klippen” and “kop.” The former is a topographical or geographical term that refers to a rock’s outcrop. On the other hand, the latter is a word that means head or hillock in the African language.

An appealing full-bodied wine with good structure with lovely balancing acidity.

L’Avenir Horizon Pinotage

L’Avenir vinifies many of their reds, including their Horizon Pinotage, with mostly whole berries. This means they gently destem the fruit while keeping the berries as whole as possible. This enables a special intracellular fermentation to take place within the skins, adding even more juicy fruit to the palate.

This beautifully poised Chenin has lots of similarity with classic white Burgundy – a refined core, layers, freshness and a touch of appealing gunflint. As the estate says, “Authentic South African wines, with a touch of French flair.”
