Kasteelberg Chenin Blanc 2025 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Kasteelberg Chenin Blanc from Swartland is a rich, medium-bodied white offering aromas of candied tangerine, ripe papaya, and hints of toasted vanilla. It's off-dry with lively acidity and a luxurious texture. Serve it well chilled with grilled prawns as the wine's tropical character and silky mouthfeel will enhance the seafood's sweetness beautifully, or pair it with roasted chicken and herbs where the wine's depth and oak-influenced complexity will complement the savory flavors perfectly. Head winemaker Alecia Boshoff, who leads production at Riebeek Valley Wine Co. (formerly Riebeek Cellars), crafts this wine from hand-selected grapes grown on the foothills of the majestic Kasteelberg Mountain, which stands as sentinel over the fertile Riebeek Valley. Established in 1941, the cooperative brings together 22 families of third- and fourth-generation grape growers who farm dry-land vineyards planted on distinctive prehistoric sandstone and shale soils, and the winery ages this wine partially in oak barrels to add depth and textured richness. Enjoy now or cellar for 2-4 years.

Chenin Blanc food pairings: grilled prawns, roasted chicken with herbs, creamy pasta carbonara.
