Stellenrust M.Barrel Fermented Chenin 2024(Top 10)
Chenin Blanc
Description
Stellenrust Wine Estate is one of the largest family-owned vineyards in Stellenbosch, with roots dating back to 1928. Situated in the Bottelary Hills, the estate benefits from a combination of decomposed granite soils, warm sunny days and cooling maritime influences from nearby False Bay. These conditions are particularly well suited to Chenin Blanc, a variety Stellenrust has championed through a wide range of styles.
The Manor Barrel Fermented Chenin represents a more textured expression of the grape. Grapes are harvested from carefully selected vineyard parcels and fermented directly in French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop greater complexity and a creamy texture while maintaining Chenin Blanc’s natural freshness.
During maturation, the wine spends several months on its lees, with occasional stirring to build richness and depth without overpowering the fruit character. The result is a balanced, food-friendly Chenin that highlights both Stellenbosch fruit and careful cellar work.
Colour:
Pale straw with golden highlights, bright and clear in the glass.
Nose:
Fresh and expressive with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and yellow apple, layered with hints of honey, toasted almond and gentle vanilla from oak maturation.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a creamy texture balanced by lively acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, citrus and baked apple are supported by subtle oak spice and a lightly nutty complexity from lees ageing.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering notes of peach, citrus peel and a delicate touch of toasted oak.

- Food Pairing : The textured yet fresh profile of Stellenrust Manor Barrel Fermented Chenin 2024 makes it particularly versatile with food. It pairs beautifully with grilled line fish or roasted chicken, where the wine’s creamy texture complements the dish while its acidity keeps the pairing fresh. Creamy pasta with mushrooms or chicken also works well, as the subtle oak and lees character mirror the richness of the sauce. For something lighter, try it with roasted butternut or a warm salad with goat’s cheese, where the wine’s fruit and gentle nuttiness add depth to the dish.
