WINE DESCRIPTION

This Chenin Blanc is a premium wine produced by the renowned Beaumont winery in the Bot River appellation of South Africa. The vineyard features a unique terroir with cool maritime breezes and decomposed granite soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves handpicking the Chenin Blanc grapes and fermenting them in small batches using natural yeasts. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Beaumont Hope Marguerite is a delightful Chenin Blanc.The nose is bursting with aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle, green apple, and lemon. On the palate, the wine is bright and crisp with flavors of pear, apricot, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant balance of acidity and subtle sweetness. Enjoy this wine with seafood, grilled vegetables, or a light summer salad.

ORIGINS

Winery: Beaumont

Region: Walker Bay

Walker Bay is a wine region located in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is situated in the coastal area of the Overberg district, between the towns of Hermanus and Stanford. The region is known for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed wines. Walker Bay has a long and rich history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s. The first vineyards were planted by French Huguenots, who settled in the area and began producing wines from the local grapes. In the late 19th century, the region was further developed by the Dutch settlers, who brought with them their own winemaking techniques and traditions. Today, Walker Bay is one of South Africa's most important wine regions, with over 200 wineries and vineyards. The region is renowned for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
