Vibrant. Juicy. A joyful expression of South Africa’s signature white grape.
Franschhoek Cellar Chenin Blanc captures everything that has made this variety one of the Cape’s most beloved treasures. Sourced from sun-kissed vineyards cooled by afternoon breezes, it offers a harmonious blend of ripe fruit flavour and refreshing acidity. This is Chenin in its modern form — bright, approachable, and irresistibly drinkable.
From the first swirl, it bursts with notes of pear, peach, melon, and citrus, underpinned by a gentle tropical softness that keeps the wine charming and easy-going. The winemaking is focused on freshness: cool fermentation, no heavy oak, and a careful preservation of aromatics. The result is a white that feels both lively and generous, making it perfect for relaxed evenings, light meals, and casual gatherings.
For wine lovers in Ireland, this style of Chenin Blanc is a fantastic everyday choice — wonderfully versatile, impressively consistent, and full of sunny Cape character. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with food, this is a bottle that brings instant brightness to the table.
Why we love it:
A beautifully expressive Chenin Blanc overflowing with fresh pear, melon, and citrus. It strikes that ideal balance between juicy fruit and refreshing acidity, making it endlessly enjoyable. We love how versatile it is — light enough for easy sipping, yet flavourful enough to pair with a wide range of dishes. A brilliant crowd-pleaser for homes and gatherings across Ireland, especially when you want something vibrant and uplifting.
