Flagstone Tributary Chenin Blanc 2021

Flagstone Wines has built its reputation on producing expressive wines that combine modern winemaking precision with a strong sense of South African identity. Based near Somerset West, the cellar works with vineyards from across the Western Cape, selecting sites that best reflect varietal character and regional freshness. The Tributary Chenin Blanc 2021 forms part of Flagstone's exploration of classic Cape varieties through a contemporary lens. Fruit is sourced from vineyards chosen for natural acidity and concentration, with careful handling in the cellar aimed at preserving purity and texture. The style balances ripe fruit generosity with freshness and subtle complexity, showcasing why Chenin Blanc remains one of South Africa's defining white grape varieties. Colour: Bright pale gold with youthful green highlights. Nose: Expressive aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple and white peach are layered with hints of citrus blossom, honeyed melon and a subtle mineral lift. Palate: Medium-bodied with a rounded yet fresh texture. Flavours of stone fruit, baked apple and citrus unfold across the palate, supported by lively acidity that keeps the wine focused and balanced. There is a gentle richness through the mid-palate without the wine feeling heavy. Finish: Clean and persistent with lingering notes of peach, citrus peel and soft honeyed fruit.
