What is this wine?
Brookdale Estate lies at the foot of the Klein Drakenstein mountains in Paarl, South Africa, where old-vine Chenin Blanc thrives on decomposed granite soils. The estate’s Old Vine Chenin Blanc is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1985, farmed sustainably and vinified with native yeasts in a mix of stainless steel and large neutral oak. The 2023 vintage was cool and balanced, producing elegant, mineral-driven whites with excellent freshness.

Why get this wine?
Old-vine Chenin Blanc has become one of South Africa’s calling cards, and Brookdale’s bottling is a benchmark example. It combines concentration from old vines with finesse from careful winemaking, rivaling Loire Chenin in complexity but at a fraction of the price. A superb choice for white wine lovers seeking both character and value.

What does this wine taste like?
Citrus, quince, and yellow apple with floral notes, beeswax, and a touch of almond. Medium-bodied and textured, with lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2030. Delicious with seafood, roast chicken, spicy Asian cuisine, or soft cheeses.
