Chenin Blanc - 2023

100% handpicked and sorted, stainless steel Chenin Blanc from South Africa’s rugged and iconic Swartland. 100% wild and natural fermentation, aged on fine lees for 6 months. Lubanzi is Carbon neutral, Fair Trade, and a Certified B corp. Like all Lubanzi wines, 50% of the annual profits are shared with the growers via the Pebbles Project. A wine filled with vibrancy, luminosity and clean minerality. Flavors of ripe summer melon, pear, white peach, and lemon peel on the palate. Green color with a wonderfully aromatic nose and hints of 
green melon, passionfruit, lemon zest and green apple.
