Groot Phesantekraal Chenin Blanc – South African white wine – 2026 – 13.5%

Groot Phesantekraal in Durbanville has roots dating all the way back to 1698 and has been in the same family for over 120 years. The estate focuses on quality over quantity and produces small batches from carefully selected vineyards.

This Chenin Blanc comes partly from old bush vines and is aged using a mix of modern and traditional techniques. The result is a white wine with real depth and character.
