South Africa is quintessentially new world with a generous stroke of old world values. That crisply typifies the approach of one MAN Family Wines estate which reflects nicely in their refreshing Chenin Blanc. South Africa is the largest planter of this lesser known French grape, evolving a crisp and easy drinking style, teeming with fresh fruit. Produced in Paarl which sits on the coast neighbouring the prestigious region of Stellenbosch, hot summers bring on quick ripening though proximity to the ocean cools down the wines and seal in vital flavours, imparted by sandstone and shale soils. This white is called Free Run because the wine runs freely out of the tank pulled by gravity rathen than any mechanical process. This classic drink now white which has its own local name for the zesty style called Steen lives up to the name, gushing with high notes of pear, pineapple and apples, elevated by zippy acid and minerality on the mouthfeel. Toss up scrumptious Sunday salad and lose the screwcap on this delicious white, double quick.
