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.
