The nose is bright and focused, showing green apple, lemon and a subtle floral lift. On the palate it’s crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity balanced by a gentle roundness through the mid-palate. There’s a touch of stone fruit and a clean, mineral finish that keeps everything precise and food-friendly. Elegant, understated and quietly impressive.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"803\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"701\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eWestern Cape\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"724\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMcGregor WO\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"748\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e100% Chenin Blanc\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"773\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e13.5%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"786\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVegan, Vegetarian, Organic, Sustainable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"841\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"836\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eVitis Vinifera 2025 - Gold\u003cbr\u003eExcellent Value at The Price Gold Awards - Gold\u003cbr\u003eGilbert \u0026amp; Gaillard International Challenge 2025 - Gold\u003cbr\u003eMichelangelo International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Awards - Double Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1370\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"859\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMcGregor Winery was established in 1948 and works with vineyards around the village of McGregor, at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountains. The wider vineyard area stretches from mountain slopes into three river valleys at around 200 to 350 metres above sea level, while this Chenin Blanc comes specifically from the Koningriver area on red calcareous soils rich in limestone. In the cellar, the fruit is handpicked before midday, whole-bunch pressed and fermented cool enough to preserve fruit while still building plenty of aromatic character, which suits the wine’s bright, juicy style very well.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
