Cape Swallow Chenin Blanc 2025 Per Case

Cape Swallow Chenin Blanc 2025

A poised, dry Chenin Blanc with bright fruit, mineral tension, and a clean South African finish.

The 2025 vintage followed a mild, well-balanced growing season with good winter rainfall and a cool, steady spring. Even bud-break and slow ripening helped build purity and layered complexity. Grapes were harvested in the early morning, then fermented in stainless steel and seasoned French oak to enhance texture while preserving vibrancy. The wine spent 6 months on fine lees, with no malolactic fermentation, keeping the finish crisp and focused.
