Taste
Rich and luxurious, the Groot Phesantekraal Anna De Koning Chenin Blanc 2021 unfolds with layers of ripe guava and pear, accentuated by bright notes of grapefruit and lemon. The palate is plush and rounded, with honeyed almond, nougat, and subtle candied nuts. French oak maturation and lees contact add to its refined mouthfeel, leading to a lingering finish shaped by supporting acidity and a gentle touch of flint and jasmine.
Producer
Groot Phesantekraal, nestled in Durbanville’s rolling landscapes, stands out for its historic roots dating back to 1698 and over 120 years of continuous family ownership.

What made Chenin Blanc such a success in South Africa?
Chenin Blanc’s extraordinary success in South Africa is rooted in its exceptional adaptability to the country’s diverse terroirs, allowing it to produce everything from fresh, zesty whites to richly textured barrel-aged wines. Many old vines - some more than half a century old - bring a sense of depth, complexity, and concentration that sets South African Chenin Blanc apart. A wave of innovative winemakers has further elevated quality with creative techniques, while the grape’s consistent value across all price ranges has made it a favourite with both locals and global wine lovers. Over time, this versatile variety has become the country’s flagship white, proudly defining South Africa’s identity on the world wine stage.
