Beaumont Family Wines

The 2023 Beaumont Chenin Blanc is a perfect example of the quality and value available among South African Chenins. The cooling maritime influence in the Cape South Coast allows slow ripening and strong flavor development in the Chenin Blanc grapes. In 2023 the cool growing season allowed for full aromatic and flavor development. The Beaumont Chenin Blanc was fermented in concrete and stainless steel tanks and offers scents of flowers, green apple, pear, pineapple and citrus. On the palate, the pure tropical fruit flavors are supported by apple, pear and citrus tones. It is a delicious and affordable Chenin Blanc.

Winemaker: Sebastian Beaumont. Initial aromas of barely ripe honeydew, green plum and lime pith are assertively laced with hints of fynbos and salinity on the nose. The palate is fresh and zingy, with green plum, apple and citrus fruit flavors that persist through the finish. A nice evolution unfolds on the close, transitioning from lively green fruits to citrus peel and finally ending on a subtle oaky-spice accent. It's young and nervy now, but should show more nuance and elegance with time; enjoy the ride through 2021.
