COGH Riebeeksrivier Chenin Blanc 2021
2021

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, the farm was taken over by Johann Rupert in 2003. In 2007, Johann purchased Riebeeksrivier in Swartland with the goal to produce top Rhône-style varietals. The vineyards selected for the Cape of Good Hope range represent some of the oldest in the country, intended to produce only the finest reflection of their terroir. The Cape Of Good Hope Riebeeksrivier Chenin Blanc 2021 offers quince, poached peach and a whiff of vanilla on the nose. The palate is fresh, offering up the peach and quince fruitiness but with a lovely lime tang and vibrance. All of that is offset against a gentle background of creamy oak - which is subtly but beautifully integrated with charming vanilla and butterscotch notes. Textured and long, nothing is overplayed with impressive harmony, palate weight and genuine refinement. Rewarding aftertaste.
