Picture biting into ripe melon and a slice of mango, then a clean dry finish that leaves you reaching for the glass again. That's Fish Hoek Chenin Blanc. It's the white you pour without overthinking it, on a hot Nairobi evening, over grilled chicken, or just because the day deserves it. Juicy, full of fruit, dry where it counts. We'll have it cold at your door faster than you can find a corkscrew (good news, it's a screwcap).
Stick your nose in and you get a burst of tropical fruit. Think guava, melon, ripe pear and a squeeze of citrus. The palate follows through juicy and rounded, with white peach and a little lime zing keeping it lively. It's unoaked, so nothing gets in the way of the fruit. Then it dries out clean on the finish, no sugar hanging around. Easy to love, never heavy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Fish Hoek comes out of South Africa's Western Cape, with the fruit grown up in the Swartland, a warm, rugged stretch north of Cape Town that grows seriously good Chenin Blanc. The brand started life with celebrated winemaker Bruce Jack, and the whole range carries Fairtrade certification, meaning the people who farmed the grapes get a fairer deal. The juice is fermented cool and slow to lock in all that upfront tropical fruit. Honest wine, made right.
