Celebrating the old bush vine Chenin Blanc that the Cape is famous for, this Chenin comes from a single vineyard planted in 1964 in the Bottelary Hills. What a mouthful of citrusy juiciness it is too! Ripe and full-flavoured style, this white wine trades in all sorts of honeyed marzipan quince richness with layers of opulent stonefruit and nougat with a round edge. It's a lot of wine, and proudly so.

Stellenrust's history dates back to 1928, when this celebrated family estate bottled its first wine on the farm. Today, that estate extends to over 400ha, with half in what is known as 'the Golden Triangle' area of Stellenbosch, which is historically home to some of the Cape's finest wines. The other half is high up in the Bottelary Hills, where you can trade back in the late afternoon sea breezes and altitude to give a cooler edge to the wines. The Stellenrust farm is run by brothers Tertius and Kobus van der Westhuizen, who are committed to following their father's dream: to give something back to the workers who have themselves given so much to the farm. Now proudly certified Fairtrade, Stellenrust has a reputation for one of the most successful Black Economic Empowerment projects in South Africa, with its 70 employees taking ownership of the land they farm.
