South Africa has more Chenin Blanc acreage than any other country. The MAN Chenin Blanc affirms that South Africa can be a source of affordable and delicious Chenin. Drawn from dry-farmed bush vines in the Agter-Paarl area, the 2019 bottling continues a string of successes for this wine. This vintage is refreshing and forward, with scents of fresh flowers, pear, green apple, lemon and tropical fruits. The flavors are pure, juicy and lively, with lemon, pear and green apple fruits underlain by delectable floral and spice tones. This is a wonderful reflection of South Africa’s vinous treasure — the Chenin Blanc. The MAN Chenin Blanc ranks among the best white wine values in the world. It’s a perfect summer sipper.
