Blockhead Chenin Blanc
A really fresh Chenin, delicious tropical fruit flavours with a rounded finish. This is such good value for money.
Lanzerac Chenin Blanc
Deliciously fresh and fruity with juicy apple and citrus flavours, gooseberry undertones and a crisp floral finish. Lanzerac Wine Estate, situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands in the Stellenbosch, is a 330 year old winery with a very rich history, producing award winning wines of excellence and superior quality.
Sula Chenin Blanc
Situated in Nashik, India’s largest grape-growing region, Sula Vineyards was set up in 1997. As an eco-friendly company, a significant amount of resources is committed to sustainable winemaking practices and ensuring fair livelihoods for Sula’s community of farmers. A large number of Sula’s workers come from disadvantaged communities and have seen a significant change in their standard of living through their employment with the company; this has been nothing short of a revolution in the surrounding villages.
This is a really well-balanced wine, with aromas of green apple and pear, tropical fruit flavours and mineral undertones. A notable acidity and hint of white pepper give this wine refreshing character.
AA Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc
Badenhurst Family wines are grown, made and matured in the Swartland appellation of South Africa making natural wines on their 60 hectare estate. One of the first wines we stocked when we first opened, and still just as good.
Adi Badenhorst’s Secateurs Chenin Blanc is probably the best bang-for-buck white wine we’ve ever sold. Why is this wine so special? Why does it win so much rapturous admiration? Because it surprises people with its quality. This is immensely mouth-watering – struck rock, clotted cream and orange blossom, with a lightly creamy, zingy finish. Pair with pork chops, seared tuna and soft cheeses.
Holden Manz Chenin Blanc
Winemaker Thierry Haberer has been making wines around the world for over a decade. He has spent time working in Bordeaux and Napa Valley in the USA before settling at the Holden Manz Wine Estate in Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa’s premiere winemaking regions. The estate boasts 22 hectares of exclusively red grape varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
Featuring a nose and palate of peach, melon and quince along with buttered broche and honey on the finish from a judicious use of oak, this Chenin Blanc is rich and utterly charming.
Pair it with roast chicken, pulled pork or fresh tuna and your tastebuds will thank you forever…
Testalonga Baby Bandito Keep On Punching
A pure style of Chenin Blanc from nearly 50 year old vines that produce small clusters full of concentration and a high natural acidity. Lemon aromas and flavours with some peach, floral and flint notes. A very interesting wine for both lovers of natural wine and those new to the style.
Blank Bottle Moment Of Silence
Clothes maketh not the man; judge the wines on what’s in the bottle, not by means of preconceived ideas. Aromas of candied lemon, cooked apple and mango with a core of minerality. Soft and voluptuous, it has a lovely ripeness and a fleshy, creamy mouthfeel, which leads to a perfect tangy freshness giving some zip to its otherwise mellow feel.
Holden Manz Proprietors Blend White
Winemaker Thierry Haberer has been making wines around the world for over a decade. He has spent time working in Bordeaux and Napa Valley in the USA before settling at the Holden Manz Wine Estate in Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa’s premiere winemaking regions. The estate boasts 22 hectares of exclusively red grape varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
The grapes for this white blend (40% Viognier, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Chenin Blanc) were hand selected from a variety of locations in Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl. They combine magnificently to produce a beautifully rounded, full bodied and well balanced wine. A bright, flinty nose with lime, green apples, tangerine and honeysuckle. The wine has had 12 month’s lees contact, adding creaminess and complexity. Absolutely sublime.
We love this wine with seared tuna steaks, tempura prawns with sweet chilli dipping sauce and mushroom wellington.
Keermont Terrasse
Keermont Estate may well take the prize for most beautiful vineyards and views in all of South Africa. And yup, there’s some pretty stiff competition! Nestled in a natural amphitheatre between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, their ambition is to produce wines that reflect the natural wonders of this exquisite place.
61% Chenin Blanc, 13% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Chardonnay and 3% Viognier, with the backbone of the Chenin blanc from a 40 year old, unirrigated vineyard called ‘Riverside’. One of the great things about Keermont is that they never rush to release their wines, so it’s developed some nicely waxy notes, pear tarte tatin, butterscotch and honeysuckle, macadamia nuts with a herbal, both sweet meadow and fresh green herb palate and long, tangy finish.
Domaine Fournier Longchamps Savennières La Croix Picot
A truly superb example of a Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Philip Fournier and his son Julien continue a winemaking tradition that began in the region more than 800 years ago. Their organically farmed estate sits in an extraordinary location; straddling the Loire Valley across five distinct appellations.
The Savennières AOC is situated just south of Angers, the historical capital of Anjou. Its 370-planted acres stretch across southern-exposed slopes on the right bank of the Loire River. Savennières’ shallow soils are comprised of well-drained sandstone schist, volcanic rock (rhyolite) and aeolian sand, which allow for excellent drainage, slight cluster dehydration and resulting concentrated fruit flavours in the trademark Chenin Blanc.
Pair with white meats and Asian cuisine.
Testalonga ‘El Bandito’ Skin Contact Chenin Blanc
Named after both an old Italian winemaker that made white wines like red wines and a Sicilian bandit named Testalonga.
With fresh apple as the predominant flavour that you want from a Chenin Blanc and a vivacity and texture that gives it excellent composure.
Testalonga El Bandito Cortez
Aromas of wild honey and freshly baked bread which contrast with its dry, very racy texture. Core flavours are remeniscent of Asian fruits with a minerality that comes through. Similar to Jura in style but distinctively New World. Fascinating Chenin showing how South Africa is becoming a very exciting country for natural wine with life and vigour!
Testalonga ‘El Bandito’ Lords Of Dogtown Chenin Blanc
Craig Hawkins is a young winemaker based in the Swartland, South Africa, where he rents about 11ha of vineyard, farmed organically and biodynamically.

A medium bodied wine with unique aromas and texture. Honey and bread aromas from fermentation in an old oak foudre with complex dried citrus and ginger on the palate. Its dry and racy texture will pair well with spiced butternut squash or roasted pork dishes with a abit of herby spice seasonings.
