Experience the artisanal brilliance of South African heritage with Fledge & Co Hoeksteen Chenin Blanc 750ml. This exceptional white wine pays homage to “Steen,” the cornerstone variety of the Cape’s historic wine industry. Winemakers Leon Coetzee and Margaux Nel source fruit from gnarled old bush vines planted in the early 1980s. You will find that Fledge & Co Hoeksteen Chenin Blanc 750ml captures a perfect balance between maritime freshness and old-vine concentration. This bottle serves as a sophisticated choice for enthusiasts who value small-batch, low-intervention winemaking.
The wine presents a brilliant straw hue and an inviting, complex aromatic profile. You will enjoy immediate notes of citrus blossom, ripe pear, and yellow stone fruits on the nose. The palate offers a svelte and lithe texture with layers of green apple, honeyed almond, and subtle rooibos spice. A distinct chalky minerality and lifted acidity provide a refreshing finish that whets the palate for another sip. You can taste the influence of the ferricrete-rich and decomposed granite soils in every drop. This Chenin Blanc pairs beautifully with roast fowl, fresh crustaceans, or firm artisanal cheeses.
