This wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier grapes, sourced from select vineyards in the Western Cape region. The vineyards are characterized by their unique terroir, which includes a mix of soils and a cool maritime climate. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit flavors. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of floral aromas. This wine is perfect for any occasion, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Bees Knees Chenin Blanc - Viognier is a unique blend of two aromatic white varietals.On the nose, it is bursting with tropical and citrus fruit aromas, along with a hint of honey. On the palate, the Chenin Blanc's distinctively bright acidity is balanced by the Viognier's full-bodied structure. The result is a delightful white wine with a clean finish and a lingering sense of tropical fruit. Enjoy its light body and freshness with light seafood dishes or a warm summer evening.
