Lomond Rockpool Chenin Blanc 2025
Produced by Lomond Wine Estate, Rockpool Chenin Blanc reflects the winery's commitment to crafting characterful wines from exceptional vineyard sites. While Lomond is best known for its cool-climate Cape Agulhas vineyards, the Rockpool Chenin Blanc is sourced from carefully selected old bush-vine Chenin vineyards in Stellenbosch, where mature vines, shale-rich soils and cooling maritime influences create fruit with both concentration and freshness. The wine is partially matured in Eastern European white oak, a hallmark of the Rockpool range that adds texture and complexity while allowing the vineyard character and purity of Chenin Blanc to remain at the forefront.
Colour: Bright straw gold with youthful green highlights.
Nose:Â Aromatic layers of ripe peach, yellow apple and nectarine are complemented by citrus blossom, honeyed notes and subtle hints of vanilla spice from oak maturation.
Palate:Â Full-bodied yet energetic, with flavours of stone fruit, baked apple and citrus preserved by vibrant acidity. The old-vine fruit brings depth and concentration, while careful oak handling contributes a creamy texture and gentle complexity without dominating the fruit.
Finish:Â Long and savoury, with lingering stone fruit, citrus zest and a subtle nutty note that adds interest and length.
- Food Pairing : The richness and texture of Lomond Rockpool Chenin Blanc 2025 make it an excellent partner for roast chicken, pork belly, grilled kingklip, creamy seafood pasta and butternut risotto. Its crisp acidity keeps richer dishes fresh and balanced, while the subtle oak influence complements roasted and caramelised flavours. The wine's combination of fruit concentration and savoury complexity also makes it a rewarding match for mature cheeses and Cape-style seafood dishes.
