Kleindal Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is the white equivalent of Pinotage; the pride of South Africa. A grape that many South African winemakers are immensely proud of. Although Chenin Blanc originates from the Loire Valley—it is part of the renowned Vouvray, for example—it only truly gained recognition when it was widely planted in South African vineyards. It thrives almost perfectly, particularly in the Western Cape, the southwestern part of South Africa. The abundance of sunshine, combined with the refreshing breeze from the Indian Ocean, ensures optimal ripening of the Chenin Blanc bunches. This is precisely why Kleindal Chenin Blanc has proven to be a resounding success in our extensive range.

The vineyards of Kleindal Chenin Blanc

Kleindal's success lies in the location of its vineyards. The vineyards are situated around the medium-sized town of Robertson, located approximately 160 kilometers from Cape Town. The town was founded in 1853 by the minister William Robertson. Thanks to its favorable location on the Breede River, several wineries have also found their way to Robertson. The Breede River is essential for viticulture in this region, ensuring that the vineyards are irrigated in South Africa's warm climate.
