Franschhoek Old Road Chenin Blanc 2019 (Diners)
The Old Road Wine Company, based in the historic Franschhoek Valley, focuses on uncovering and preserving unique vineyard sites - often older vines rooted in some of the Cape’s most characterful soils. The philosophy is grounded in storytelling: each wine reflects not just a place, but the people and history behind it.
Fruit for wines like the Franschhoek Old Road Chenin Blanc 2019 is typically sourced from established bush vines, where naturally lower yields bring concentration and texture. Careful handling in the cellar - including small-batch fermentation and a balance of stainless steel and older oak - allows the wine to retain freshness while building subtle depth and structure.
Colour:
Light gold with a soft green hue, showing early development without losing brightness.
Nose:
Ripe pear and peach lead, followed by hints of lemon curd and a touch of vanilla. There’s a gentle pastry-like note suggesting some lees or light oak influence.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a rounded, slightly creamy texture. Flavours of quince, pear and citrus sit alongside a subtle honeyed richness, balanced by moderate acidity that keeps the wine focused rather than heavy.
Finish:
Medium length, with lingering citrus and soft stone fruit, finishing dry with a faintly savoury edge.
- Food Pairing : The Franschhoek Old Road Chenin Blanc 2019 has enough texture to handle richer dishes while still offering freshness. It pairs well with roast chicken or pork, where the wine’s subtle honeyed notes complement caramelised flavours. Creamy seafood — such as prawn risotto or fish in a butter sauce - works equally well, as the acidity cuts through richness. For a local angle, try it with Cape Malay chicken curry, where the fruit softens the spice while the wine’s structure keeps the pairing balanced.
