Tasting Notes
The 2024 Huilkrans Chenin Blanc is intense, mineral-driven, and remarkably precise, offering aromas of citrus oil, quince, green apple, and white peach layered with notes of chamomile, crushed stone, and subtle saline character. The palate is concentrated yet focused, with vibrant acidity and exceptional tension supporting flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest, and wet rock minerality. Powerful and elegant, the finish is long, textured, and deeply complex.
