Stellenrust Manor Chenin Blanc 2024 (Top 10)
Chenin Blanc
Description
Stellenrust is a long-standing family estate in Stellenbosch, known for its deep-rooted focus on Chenin Blanc. The Manor range draws on old bush vine vineyards, many between 30 and 45 years old, planted in decomposed granite soils that contribute both structure and freshness. The region’s warm days and cooler maritime influence allow for balanced ripening, preserving natural acidity while building flavour. In the cellar, the approach combines stainless steel and a portion of older French oak, with time on the lees to add texture without masking the fruit. The result is a wine that reflects Stellenbosch’s ability to produce Chenin Blanc with both accessibility and quiet depth.
Colour:
Pale straw with a bright, clear rim.
Nose:
Fresh and inviting, showing lime, green apple and subtle tropical fruit, followed by a light floral lift and a hint of minerality.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a clean, fruit-driven core. Flavours of grapefruit, pear and citrus sit upfront, supported by a gentle mineral edge. A small portion of oak and lees ageing adds a touch of roundness without shifting the wine away from its fresh style.
Finish:
Crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a lightly dry, mineral close.

- Food Pairing : Stellenrust Manor Chenin Blanc 2024 is well suited to dishes that benefit from freshness and a light mineral edge. It pairs naturally with grilled chicken salads or smoked chicken, where the acidity lifts the richness, and with seafood such as line fish or prawns, echoing the wine’s citrus profile. It also works well with carpaccio or light charcuterie, where the clean structure cuts through fat without overwhelming the dish. For everyday meals, a vegetable tart or roast chicken with herbs brings out the wine’s balance of fruit and subtle savoury notes.
