Description

Proof that good organic wine doesn’t have to break the bank, the 2023 Org de Rac Chenin Blanc is a bright, easy-drinking Swartland white with plenty of character. The grapes come from south-facing vineyards along the Berg River, where cooler conditions help keep things fresh and balanced.

Winemaker Lizelle Gerber keeps it simple in the cellar—wild fermentation, a bit of lees contact for texture, and no unnecessary additions. The result? A fruit-forward Chenin with juicy peach and citrus, a touch of lime zest, and a clean, chalky finish.

It’s a proper crowd-pleaser, whether you’re pairing it with a spicy curry, soft cheese, or just cracking a bottle on a warm afternoon. At this price, it’s worth grabbing a few.

VARIETAL - Chenin Blanc

WINE OF ORIGIN - Coastal Region

VINEYARD BACKGROUND - Grapes are sourced from a vineyard situated on the banks of the Berg River, on a south-facing slope with a micro- and macroclimate ideally suited to the cultivation of this variety. At Org de Rac, we believe healthy soils make the best wines; therefore, the vineyard is managed with different cover crops, vetches, and organic mulching to stimulate healthy soil microbial activity. Strict pruning and canopy control help to keep pests and diseases to a minimum while ensuring optimal leaf shading in the growing season – important for a slow, even ripening.

WINEMAKING PROCESS - Meticulous sorting of the grapes is done with the use of a berry sorting machine upon arrival at the cellar to ensure only the finest grapes are vinified. Natural yeasts are used for fermentation, and the wine spends considerable time on its lees to create a creamy, textured mouthfeel.

WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES - This pale straw-coloured wine with its youthful green tinge shows bright stone fruit and a hint of lime zest on the nose. The flavours of peach, pear, and citrus become more defined on the palate, revealing a rich mouthfeel and fresh, chalky minerality on the lingering finish.

SERVING SUGGESTION - Enjoy well chilled with mildly spicy dishes like coronation chicken and South Indian fish curry, as well as soft cheeses like brie and ricotta.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
