Boschendal 1685 Chenin Blanc 2024

From the second-oldest estate in South Africa, this is a rich, complex, full-throated Chardonnay that offsets depth and concentration with undeniable poise. Look for tropical fruit, peach, citrus, toast and nuts, with a refined creaminess from its time on the lees. The long finish is exceptional. Great value for such quality.
