Posted Accord 2020 Chenin Blanc Swartland, South Africa

Description

In Swartland, South Africa, vineyards are planted in varying locations, from steep mountain foothills to rolling hillsides, and they experience a classic continental climate. Just 40 miles north of Cape Town, the region experiences hot, dry, and sunny days during the growing season. In the afternoon, breezes sweep in from the bordering Atlantic Ocean, giving relief to vines and allowing them to develop intense and beautiful acidity. Winemakers love the salinity that the maritime influence provides, and vines are meticulously farmed across the entire appellation. Our winemaking partners have been crafting beautiful bottles in the region for years, and our Chenin Blanc from Posted Accord is no exception. Sourced from fruit grown on land with deep granite soils, this wine is fruit-forward, rich, and textural. A multi-award-winner, this wine took home 94 points and a Platinum Medal from the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
