Lievland Vineyards Old Vine Chenin Blanc (2024)

Lievland’s history dates back to 1715, when the original farm was granted to the ex-soldier Jurie Hanekom. Lievland lies on the western slopes of the Simonsberg mountains between Stellenbosch and Paarl, two of the most prominent wine-growing areas in the Cape. The climate, location, and soil on the slopes are conducive to the cultivation of high-quality grapes, and some of the Cape’s best-known wines are made here. Lievland is all about "the here and now", and their wines are made in a generous fruit-forward, well-extracted style.

The Lievland Old Vine Chenin Blanc is made from 2 certified heritage vineyards; planted in 1985 and 1987. This aromatic and intensely fruity wine is a stunning showcase of the versatility of Chenin Blanc. Light straw with a golden hue, it has aromas of white peach, citrus and pineapple. On the palate, peach, citrus, apricot and a compelling minerality. The body is rich, ripe, with balanced acidity.
