Information about "Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc 2025"
The Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc showcases a bright and refreshing straw-yellow hue, offering an enticing bouquet on the nose. This expressive, medium-bodied white wine, sourced from old Chenin Blanc vines in Piekenierskloof, captivates with aromas of fruit salad, vanilla, and lemon meringue. On the palate, flavors of pineapple, dried apple, and chamomile emerge, balanced by a creamy, dry texture complemented by vibrant acidity and hints of almond biscuit, lemon cream, and a touch of white pepper. The term Steen is the historic Afrikaans name for Chenin Blanc, while Donkiesbaai translates to 'Donkey Bay'—a beautiful coastal hideaway on the West Coast.
This wine's complexity stems from the distinctive terroir of the Piekenierskloof region, which yields a wine that is both elegant and approachable.
The grapes for the Donkiesbaai Steen Chenin Blanc were destemmed, crushed, pressed, and allowed to rest overnight, then fermented in a blend of stainless steel tanks, French barrels, and concrete eggs.
