L'Equinox Wines - To Maike and The Rest 2022

(Swartland, South Africa)

100% Chenin Blanc, skin-fermented for added depth and texture, this is a complex and deep wine that retains plenty of immediacy and drinkability.  A gorgeous nose of clean citrus minlging with orchard fruits carries over to the palate, which brings along a stunning savoury herbal element and a lengthy, satisfying finish.  Top Chenin from an exciting young producer. 

Made by MC Stander, a newcomer to the Swartland wine scene who leases vines he farms organically as well as sourcing fruit from other local organic and biodynamic growers.  MC is always looking for freshness in his wines and has a light touch in the cellar, but keeps an eye on refinement and clarity, giving his wines a true sense of identity and purpose.
