Episode 17 Chenin Blanc South Africa

In this episode, we analyse Chenin Blanc from South Africa using the WSET Level 3 Systematic Approach to Tasting. As the country’s most planted grape, Chenin Blanc produces a wide range of styles, from fresh and fruity to rich, oaked and age-worthy. We explore its high acidity, flavours of apple, pear, quince and stone fruit, possible honeyed development, structure, winemaking choices, and key quality indicators to help you confidently identify it in a blind tasting exam. Perfect for Level 3 preparation.
