de Trafford Chenin blanc 2021 75 cl.

De Trafford Chenin Blanc is a premium white wine from De Trafford Wines, crafted from carefully selected Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Mont Fleur vineyard, located in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The vineyard’s decomposed granite (Hutton) soils and elevated altitude contribute to the wine’s bright acidity, complexity, and elegant minerality.

The wine is fermented with natural yeasts and matured partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in older French oak barrels, which adds subtle texture and depth without overpowering the fresh fruit character. It displays vibrant aromas of white peach, citrus zest, quince, and floral notes, with a crisp and refreshing palate featuring hints of stone fruit and minerals.

De Trafford Wines was founded by winemaker De Trafford Ross, who brings decades of experience and a deep passion for terroir-driven wines. The estate emphasizes sustainable vineyard management, meticulous attention to detail, and minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the unique characteristics of the Mont Fleur terroir to shine through in every bottle. This approach has earned De Trafford recognition as one of South Africa’s top boutique wineries.

The Chenin Blanc exemplifies the estate’s philosophy—refined, balanced, and expressive—making it a perfect companion to seafood, poultry, and light vegetarian dishes.
