A new listing - de Morgenzon Chenin Blanc 2005. An utterly fabulous South African Chenin Blanc that we have been plotting to bring on board for over a year, and finally been able to!

The John Platter Guide describes winemaker Teddy Hall as 'South Africa's sultan of Chenin'. The guide gives this particular vintage a top ranking 5 stars.

Our tasting notes read - Spice, honey and apricot make for a highly delicious and complex nose. An excellent concentrated and mineral led palate with layered complexity of a mixture of fruits. Some residual sugar is offset by a crisp acidity to create perfect balance and a long finish.

"The dedication to a quality first approach resulted in Teddy Hall winning the Wine Magazine Chenin Blanc Challenge four times in the last five years (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005) and he won the 2001 Diners Club Winemaker of the year award. The Cape Winemakers Guild invited him to join their ranks in 2002 and at the 2003 Rendez-vous du Chenin he was the most successful Chenin producer with four wines out of the top 49 international wines selected."
