Buy the elegant Momento Chenin Blanc Verdelho 2024. Winemaker Marelise Niemann is highly regarded for her site-expressive wines. She sources this complex blend from seven unique vineyard parcels. The 2024 vintage was marked by low yield. This resulted in beautiful concentration and superb length. This white wine perfectly balances richness and elegance.
Momento consistently produces top-tier wines. Winemag’s Christian Eedes awarded the previous 2022 vintage a brilliant 94/100 points. Tim Atkin MW has also given the Momento Chenin Blanc Verdelho high praise. It is a benchmark wine in the New Wave Cape White Blend category.
The blend is mostly Chenin Blanc with a significant Verdelho component, adding zest. The nose reveals lemon, orange, ginger, and a hint of leesy complexity. The dense fruit shows impressive freshness. Expect notes of quince, green melon, and stone fruit. The palate is concentrated and almost chewy in texture. A savoury, slightly grippy finish is delivered.
This versatile wine pairs well with roast duck, chicken breasts, and creamy pasta. It should be served lightly chilled.
