Ernest Gouws & Co Chenin Blanc

A bold ruby in colour. The bouquet shows hints of paw-paw, granadilla, yellow, green apples and peaches dominate the aromatic spectrum. The vibrant acidity and slight textural mouthfeel combine with the vibrant tropical fruit characters to result in a fresh, more-ish, typical Stellenbosch style of Chenin Blanc. Lingering flavours of peach and pineapple on the finish.

The Gouws family’s winemaking heritage dates back to 1691, when the first members (then called 'Gauch') set foot on South African soil as part of the French Huguenots who emigrated to the Cape Colony. Ernst Gouws, the jovial patriarch of the Gouws family and winemaker extraordinaire, firmly believes in the French philosophy that the quality of the wine is inextricably linked to the origin of the vineyards and its terroir. Grapes are therefore hand-harvested from site-specific vineyards around the town of Stellenbosch, which is world famous for producing quality, fruit-driven wines. At Ernst Gouws & Co we value and respect the immense contributions from our grape-growing partners, whose passion for producing world-class fruit is ultimately what allows us to achieve our goal of delivering exceptional wines that bear our seal of approval. Now, many generations later, this Stellenbosch family and their down-to-earth approach to making honest, wholesome wines is synonymous with some of the best the Cape Winelands has to offer.
