Lubanzi Description
This chenin blanc is a wine filled with vibrancy and luminosity. A lively pale yellow-green tinge in the glass followed by a wonderfully aromatic nose with hints of green melon, passionfruit, lemon zest and green apple, indicates all the delicious qualities present in this unique South African chenin blanc. The creamy palate, perfectly balanced with a zesty acidity makes your mouth water and a sense of longing to fill your glass and watch the perfect african sunset. The lingering minerality of this wine expresses the true terroir of Swartland.

There's a vibrant floral element to the bouquet of this pretty white, with supporting tones of freshly cut pear, peach and white melon. The palate is medium-full in feel, with a lovely rose-spiked peach accent that carries across the palate and is then refreshed by ample acidity. The finish ends clean and refreshing, with very good lingering vibrancy. Lauren Buzzeo

The 2020 Chenin Blanc begins with a fresh, citrusy expression in the glass with aromas of waxy melon, yellow apple skin and dusty citrus blossoms. Medium-bodied, the 12.5% alcohol wine is bright, lively and fresh on the palate, with a balanced structure and a food-friendly, straightforward finish that delivers well for the price. Reading the label, there are plenty of social and environmental practices Lubanzi is implementing that make you feel good to contribute to the greater good, while you sip on some tasty juicy. Good on you, Lubanzi.
