De Meye Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2025
De Meye is a small, family-run estate in Stellenbosch, where a hands-on approach in both vineyard and cellar defines the style of the wines. The Old Vine Chenin Blanc is sourced from mature vineyards, where lower yields naturally bring greater concentration and texture to the fruit.
Stellenbosch’s mix of warm days and cooling influences allows Chenin Blanc to ripen fully while retaining freshness. In the cellar, the philosophy leans toward minimal intervention, often incorporating a combination of tank and older oak to build texture without overt wood influence. The focus is on balance - allowing the richness of old vines to show while keeping the wine fresh and expressive.
Colour:
Pale gold with a bright, luminous edge.
Nose:
Ripe pear, yellow apple, and hints of peach lead, followed by honey, citrus peel, and a subtle floral note. A light touch of spice and nuttiness adds depth.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a rounded, textured mouthfeel. The fruit is generous but controlled - stone fruit and orchard notes - balanced by fresh acidity that keeps the wine lifted. There’s a gentle creaminess, likely from lees contact, adding complexity without heaviness.
Finish:
Smooth and persistent, with lingering fruit, soft spice, and a clean, dry close.
- Food Pairing : De Meye Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2025 pairs well with dishes that match its texture and freshness. It works beautifully with roast chicken or pork, where the wine’s acidity cuts through richness while its fruit complements the flavours. Creamy pasta dishes or risotto also suit its rounded palate, while grilled fish with a buttery or lemon-based sauce highlights its balance. For a local touch, Cape Malay-style chicken or mildly spiced dishes bring out both the fruit and subtle spice in the wine without overwhelming it.
