Jakkalsvlei Vonkel Sparkling Chenin Blanc 2025
Sparkling
Description
Jakkalsvlei Private Cellar is tucked away near Herbertsdale in the Garden Route, a lesser-known but increasingly respected pocket of the Western Cape. The warm days and cooling coastal breezes from the nearby Indian Ocean help grapes ripen fully while retaining enough freshness for lively, fruit-forward wines.
The estate is known for its approachable, easy-drinking style, with a focus on expressive fruit and balance rather than overt complexity. “Vonkel,” meaning sparkle, reflects this philosophy - crafted to be enjoyed in the moment. Made from Chenin Blanc, South Africa’s most widely planted variety, this sparkling wine leans into the grape’s natural fruitiness and versatility, offering a more relaxed alternative to traditional Cap Classique styles.
Colour:
Light straw with a lively stream of fine bubbles.
Nose:
Bright tropical aromas of guava, passion fruit and ripe pear, with hints of peach and a touch of citrus zest.
Palate:
Fresh and gently off dry, showing juicy flavours of peach, apple and tropical fruit. The mousse is soft and approachable rather than tight, with enough acidity to keep the wine refreshing and easy to drink.
Finish:
Clean and fruity, with lingering notes of pear and a subtle sweetness that makes it immediately appealing.
