Beaumont Chenin Blanc 2023

The 2023 Beaumont Chenin Blanc exemplifies the exceptional quality and value that South African Chenin Blancs have to offer. Thanks to the cooling maritime influence of the Cape South Coast, the Chenin Blanc grapes benefit from a slow ripening process, which enhances their flavor complexity. The cool 2023 growing season was particularly favorable, allowing the grapes to develop rich aromatics and full flavors. Fermented in a combination of concrete and stainless steel tanks, this wine presents an enticing bouquet of floral notes, green apple, pear, pineapple, and citrus. On the palate, vibrant tropical fruit flavors are beautifully complemented by hints of apple, pear, and citrus. This Chenin Blanc is both delightful and affordable, making it a standout choice. ---- Wayne Belding
