Terre Brulee Chenin Blanc 750ml

Discover Chenin Blanc / Vouray Wines

Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape that originated in France's Loire Valley and has since grown in popularity in South Africa and other new world countries. Its strong acidity, diversity of aromas and flavors, and propensity to become profoundly concentrated make it adaptable to a wide range of genres. Chenin Blanc is available in a variety of styles, including dry, still white, sparkling, dessert, and demi-sec wines. It really caters to everyone's needs. There's nothing quite like it, with rich undertones of beeswax, ginger, lemon verbena, chamomile, and jasmine. It's a one-of-a-kind beauty that comes in a variety of pricing ranges.

The Swartland area of South Africa was at the forefront of the Chenin movement (also known as Steen there), with producers including Chris and Andrea Mullineux, Eben Sadie, David and Nadia Sadie, and Adi Badenhorst.

California and Washington have also had success with the grape, mainly utilizing it to add complexity to blends or to make dry single varietal bottlings. Many other new world wineries are following Chenin's lead, with Chenin thriving in New York, Virginia, Oregon, and elsewhere.
