MARRAS 2023 Chenin Blanc – Piekenierskloof, Swartland, South Africa

Sun-soaked but seriously cool, this Chenin is a Swartland stunner. Ripe pear, yellow apple and a hint of honeyed citrus meet a bright, zesty backbone — all thanks to high-altitude vineyards and some hands-off magic from young-gun winemaker Martin ‘Marras’ Lamprecht.

It’s textured, it’s fresh, it’s your new go-to white when Sauvignon feels too sharp and Chardonnay too rich.

Pairs with: Roast chicken, crab cakes, creamy veggie pastas
Vibe: Effortless charm with a wild edge
