Scions of Sinai Granietsteen Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch 2025

White Wine from South Africa - Coastal Region
0 star rating 0 Reviews
This super-salty, riveting chenin comes from a single vineyard planted in 1978 on Sinai Hill on the slopes of the Helderberg, facing the bracing and briny False Bay - just a few metres away from where Chris Alheit sources the chenin for his Nautical Dawn. With aromas and flavours of spring blossom, fynbos and conference pear, and a brilliant acidity, this reverberates with energy and luminous citrus fruit. One for the chenin purists who favour racy, tense styles over opulent, oaky expressions.

A delicate nose leads into a bright, focussed and minerally-charged palate. Linear but not lean, with white apple, salted melon and citrus pith and a stony finish. This will gain richness with age.

The nose on this! It could only be South African Chenin, and it is enough to stop anyone in their tracks. Heady, rich and radiant. Quince, dried peaches, dust and orange peel. Mouth-watering. Ginger and pepper and lime pickle. Pulled as tight as violin strings, but fully orchestral in its glorious spread. Lovely, lovely runnels of bitterness give the wine a lustrous amber grain. This wine was quite astonishing – and as fellow wine writer David Kermode said to me about the line-up of Chenins, it’s almost a pity that it was the first wine of the tasting, because all the other Chenins (which were excellent) paled a little by comparison.
