Storm Point Chenin Blanc

 Storm Point Chenin Blanc was made to show what a well-adapted variety can do in the Swartland’s unruly landscape and intense growing season. Thanks in large part to the granitic soils found in the Swartland, the hallmarks of this wine are intense aromatics, powerful flavors and bright acidity. Year after year, it continues to deliver exceptional value for its quality; in both 2022 and 2019, it was featured on a New York Times “20 Wines Under $20” list. As for the name, Storm Point is a reference to the ‘Cabo das Tormentas’ or ‘Cape of Storms’ that Bartolomeu Dias rounded successfully in 1488, and it pays homage to the rugged, wind-blown climate of the Swartland.

This wine is freshly packed with nuance, playfulness and discovery. Savory and herbal aromas lead to subtle stone fruit and citrus blossom notes. This is accentuated by vibrant lemon zest sprinkled with sea water. This is textbook Chenin Blanc featuring a mineral drive with ample weight balanced by poignant acid on the finish.
