Chenin Blanc
Chenin Blanc is a highly versatile white grape best known from France’s Loire Valley and increasingly from South Africa. It naturally has high acidity, which allows it to produce everything from crisp dry wines to rich, sweet, and sparkling styles. Typical flavors include apple, pear, quince, citrus, flowers, honey, and sometimes a waxy or mineral character. In warmer regions, Chenin can become broader and more tropical, while cooler sites emphasize freshness and precision. Its combination of acidity, texture, and aging potential makes it one of the most expressive and underrated white grapes in the world.
