Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024
Chenin Blanc
Description
Villiera Estate, situated in Stellenbosch, has built a longstanding reputation for environmentally conscious farming and consistent, approachable wines that reflect the Cape’s natural freshness. The Grier family has farmed the property for generations, with sustainability and biodiversity forming an important part of the estate’s philosophy alongside quality-focused winemaking.
The Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024 combines the bright fruit character of Chenin Blanc with added texture and depth from oak maturation. Grapes are harvested from selected Stellenbosch vineyards before fermentation takes place in older French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop complexity without excessive wood influence. Lees contact adds creaminess and structure while preserving the variety’s natural acidity and vibrant fruit profile.
Colour:
Bright straw gold with youthful green reflections.
Nose:
Ripe pear, yellow apple and white peach aromas are layered with hints of citrus blossom, honey and subtle toasted almonds. Gentle oak influence adds notes of vanilla and warm spice without dominating the fruit.
Palate:
The Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024 is textured and rounded while still maintaining freshness and energy. Stone fruit and citrus flavours are supported by soft creaminess from lees ageing, balanced by crisp acidity that keeps the palate focused and lively. The oak integration feels subtle and supportive rather than rich or heavy.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering notes of peach, citrus peel and light toasted spice.
