Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The grapes Terre Brûlée Le Blanc are 100% Chenin Blanc and sourced from blocks in the Swartland region which are predominantly shale and granite soils. Swartland is an area that is gaining acclaim, located about an hour north of Cape Town with pockets of vineyards spread throughout the foothills of the Piketberg, Porterville, Riebeek and Perdeberg mountains and along the banks of the Berg River.

Professional Ratings

  • 89
    Melon pith, straw, honeysuckle and orange blossom tea all dance on the nose upon first whiff of this enticing wine. The palate is medium in weight, with ripe orange and orchard-fruit flavors that linger with good intensity through to the finish, structured by ample acidity for freshness and a lightly bitter framework for textural interest.

Unquestionably one of the most diverse grape varieties, Chenin Blanc can do it all. It shines in every style from bone dry to unctuously sweet, oaked or unoaked, still or sparkling and even as the base for fortified wines and spirits. Perhaps Chenin Blanc’s greatest asset is its ever-present acidity, maintained even under warm growing conditions. Somm Secret—Landing in South Africa in the mid 1800s, today the country has double the acreage of Chenin Blanc planted compared to France. There is also a new wave of dedicated producers committed to restoring old Chenin vines.

Literally meaning "the black land," Swartland takes its name from the endangered, indigenous "renosterbos" (translating to rhino bush), which used to be plentiful enough to turn the entire landscape a dark color certain during times of year. The district, attracting some of the most adventurous and least interventionist winemakers, excels in robust and full-bodied reds as well as quality fortified wines.
