About this Wine
The Black Pearl Chenin Blanc is grown in the Swartland region, close to Riebeek West.
The grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning. After destemming and a gentle crushing, the juice is cooled for natural settling.
Fermentation takes place with yeast which develops passionfruit characteristics and a clean, high aromatic intensity. After fermentation the wine is left on the lees (the dead yeast cells) for a few months to add to the mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
The Chenin Blanc has a fine mineral nose with a citrus freshness. The palate has zesty acidity complimented by Granny Smith apple and subtle tropical fruit flavours.
Bright and focused with a crisp clean finish, this wine shows off the varietal characters of an unoaked Chenin from the Swartland.

In a screw-cap bottle, the Black Pearl Wines 2024 Swartland Chenin Blanc is fragrant and generous with fresh varietals tones of citrus, sweet pomelo, passion fruit and peach. These pretty aromas give the wine a good sense of staying power and energy. The mid-weight finish is glossy and waxy. This 12,000-bottle release draws its fruit from old vines on slate soils. 2024-2028
