Revenant Wild Ferment Chenin Blanc 2025
Chenin Blanc
Description
Revenant is part of the broader ethos developed by False Bay / Waterkloof where vineyards sit close to the False Bay coastline in the Western Cape, benefiting from cool sea breezes and varied soils that help maintain good natural acidity and aromatic clarity in white grapes. Winemaking here leans into minimal intervention: grapes are sustainably farmed, hand-picked and delicately pressed before allowing spontaneous, wild yeast fermentation to unfold. This approach favours expressive fruit and a textured palate over manipulation in the cellar, reflecting both Old World respect for site and a fresh New World personality in the glass.
Colour: Pale straw with subtle green hints suggesting bright freshness.
Nose: Opens with gentle orchard fruit aromas - think fresh pear and stone fruit - alongside floral notes and a touch of wild honey that hint at complexity without overt richness. The wild ferment influence adds an intriguing mineral edge.
Palate: Smooth and rounded, with a soft mid-palate fruit profile balanced by lively acidity. Citrus peel, yellow apple and hints of apricot mingle with a delicate savoury streak that gives structure and interest. Texture is inviting, neither too lean nor heavy.
Finish: Clean and gently persistent, finishing with a whisper of citrus zest and fruit sweetness that lingers just long enough to invite another sip.

- Food Pairing : This versatile South African Chenin Blanc thrives with light, flavourful fare. Pair Revenant Wild Ferment Chenin Blanc 2025 with grilled line fish or hake tacos dressed with fresh lime and coriander - the wine’s bright acidity cuts through the richness of the fish, while its subtle fruit complements citrus notes. It also works beautifully with creamy lemon-and-herb chicken or a warm couscous salad with roasted vegetables and goat’s cheese; the wine’s balance of freshness and texture keeps richer flavours lively without overwhelming them. For a bolder contrast, a mildly spiced butternut and chickpea tagine echoes the wine’s gentle apricot notes and adds a satisfying depth to the meal.
