Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc Wines That Speak of the Cape

Discover Boutique Bottles with Soul

If there’s one varietal that tells the story of South African terroir, it’s Chenin Blanc. Crisp, layered, and endlessly expressive, Chenin is both a heritage grape and a canvas for modern winemakers to push boundaries.

At WYN Store, we’ve curated an ever-evolving collection of Chenin Blancs from South Africa’s most exciting boutique wineries. Whether you’re after a vibrant, fruit-forward bottle or a textured, barrel-aged masterpiece, you’ll find it here.

Why Chenin Blanc Belongs on Your Table

Originally hailing from the Loire Valley in France, Chenin Blanc has found its spiritual home in South Africa. With more Chenin planted here than anywhere else in the world, local winemakers have embraced the varietal as a symbol of versatility and innovation. From Swartland to Stellenbosch, the diversity of our terroir brings out the best in this noble grape.

South African Chenin Blanc offers:

  • Fresh, vibrant acidity ideal for seafood, salads, and summer sipping
  • Complex, textural expressions aged in oak for depth and body
  • Versatile pairing power, handling everything from spicy curries to creamy pastas
  • Affordability across both premium and value ranges

Chenin Blanc isn’t just a white wine. It’s a shape-shifter, capable of everything from bright and linear to honeyed and bold.

Our Chenin Blanc collection spans a wide flavour spectrum. Here’s what you can expect when browsing:

Discover the Chenin Spectrum

Unwooded Chenin Blanc

Crisp, clean and fruit-driven. Think notes of green apple, citrus, and white peach. These are perfect weekday wines or poolside refreshers.

Oaked & Barrel-Fermented Chenin Blanc

Richer and more complex, with flavours of baked pear, almond, spice, and honeycomb. These are wines built for food, ageing, or gifting.

Natural & Minimal Intervention Chenin

Crafted by boutique producers in regions like Swartland, these wines are textured, earthy, and expressive of place. No fluff, just real wine.

Old Vines Chenin Blanc

Vines 30+ years old yield concentrated fruit and stunning minerality. Often seen in limited-edition bottlings from leading winemakers.
