Groenendal Vineyards Chenin Blanc - £57.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Chenin Blanc has been grown in the Cape since the first settlers arrive from the Loire Valley in the 1660s. Despite the recent switch to more ubiquitous international varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc), Chenin remains the definitive Cape white. Always distinctive, in the right hands it is capable of elegance, complexity and longevity. Groenendal was among the first 15 farms established in the Wellington area 300 years ago. Chenin has been grown there for the last century. The current owner Herman Le Roux's great grand father emigrated from Blois in the Loire which is the centre of Chenin Blanc cultivation in France. Today the estate's wines are vinified by Franck Meaker at Wellington's Bolvei Cellars. Pale gold with light green tinges. Ripe peach, citrus and guava aromas. This is a really well balanced wine with a whack of fresh fruit flavours, lovely harmonious structure and a crisp lingering finish. Especially recommended with grilled fish and seafood kebabs.

Reserve Champalou 2005 - £10.89
Price on from Laithwaites.
Husband and wife team Didier and Catherine Champalou met at oenology (winemaking) college in 1976. Both from winemaking families, they established their own winemaking enterprise in 1984 with a focus on quality and innovation. As 'The Wine and Food Guide to the Loire' says of them - ''...applying rigorous standards they have created one of the most exciting wineries in Vouvray''. The noble Chenin Blanc is the grape here and the delimited zone of 'Vouvray AOC', is where it reaches its apotheosis. In its nobility is great versatility. It can appear in all guises - from the intensely honeyed and ageworthy, to off-dry, through to bone dry. This Reserve' is ever-so-slightly off-dry. Subtle honeydew melon aromas, guava and melon flavours, well-poised with balanced citrus lime 'backbone'. Delicious to sip now but will gather further complexity over the next couple of years. Perfect with delicate shellfish flavours or subtle charcuterie.
