Elevate your everyday refreshment with the Hazendal Heritage White Blend, a sophisticated and accessible wine from the historic Bottelary Hills. This masterfully assembled blend showcases a synergy of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon, with subtle touches of Roussanne and Marsanne. You will encounter an inviting bouquet filled with notes of lemon, green melon, and citrus blossom. Deeper layers reveal hints of white pear, guava, and freshly cut grass that add a delightful complexity. On the palate, the wine feels lively and medium-bodied with a remarkably refreshing acidity. A unique nine-month period of extended lees contact ensures a fine and creamy texture throughout the experience. Every sip finishes with an enduring, savoury mineral edge that leaves the palate clean and revitalised. This wine serves as a perfect tribute to Hazendal’s three centuries of winemaking heritage in Stellenbosch.

The wine offers a versatile character that suits both casual garden lunches and more formal dinner occasions.
