Chenin Blanc is South Africa’s signature grape, and Noble Hill’s Simonskop bottling captures it at its most vibrant. Grown on the granite-rich slopes of Simonsberg Mountain, this wine offers the perfect balance of ripe fruit and crisp freshness. It shows both energy and depth, with orchard fruit flavors lifted by citrus brightness and anchored by a mineral backbone. Lees aging adds subtle creaminess, rounding out its clean, refreshing finish. This is a wine that reflects the character of its place and the versatility of Chenin Blanc, equally suited to casual summer evenings or elegant dinners.
The wine opens with aromas of quince, white peach, and honeysuckle, accented by almond and wet stone. On the palate, crisp orchard fruit and zesty citrus are layered with a chalky minerality. A touch of lees aging brings gentle roundness and depth without diminishing its freshness. The finish is long and clean, leaving notes of peach and citrus zest lingering. With both vibrancy and texture, it is a Chenin Blanc that delights now and will evolve gracefully with short-term cellaring.
