Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Chenin Blanc 2023, Stellenbosch

Family Reserve range, the flagship collection from one of Stellenbosch’s most respected wine estates. The focus of the range is on expressing a true sense of place, whether through single-vineyard wines or thoughtful blends from exceptional sites. In the cellar, this vineyard knowledge is paired with a continual pursuit of refinement, incorporating techniques such as amphora and concrete egg fermentation to enhance texture and purity. The result is a collection of wines that are limited in volume and truly distinctive — wines made for special occasions, reflecting both the sites they come from and the careful decisions made throughout the winemaking journey. An exceptional Chenin Blanc: this magical harmony of citrus fruit, melon and apple flavours has a gentle mineral edge. Ageing in French oak barrels and amphorae imparts a creamy mouth feel and an elegant, long and fresh finish.
