Kameraderie Chenin Blanc 2023 - Van Loggerenberg

Kameraderie Chenin Blanc - Van Loggerenberg

Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc.

A wine with a natural and low-intervention approach: it comes from old, unirrigated vines and is vinified without commercial yeasts or enzymes, with predominant aging in concrete to preserve the most authentic expression of Paardeberg, Swartland.

Kameraderie is a tense, textural, and very territorial Chenin Blanc, built more on texture, minerality, and depth than on aromatic immediacy. The nose reveals white pear, ripe citrus, peach/nectarine, floral hints of fynbos, light herbaceous notes like wild fennel, and a clear imprint of decomposed Paardeberg granite.

On the palate it is saline and mineral, with good acidic tension and an important structure. It is not an "easy" or immediately fruity Chenin Blanc: it is more concentrated and slightly austere when young, requiring time in the glass. The finish is long, savory, precise, with an almost tactile/chalky sensation.

A wine for medium to long aging.
