⚖️ A bold and textured Cape white—vibrant, layered, and finely crafted.

👁 In the Glass:
Golden straw with a soft glow—rich yet precise.

👃 On the Nose:
Intriguing and expressive. Aromas of white peach, lemon rind, and jasmine are lifted by notes of wet stone, with subtle hints of brioche and citrus blossom.

👅 On the Palate:
Mouth-coating and full-bodied. Tart lemon curd, ripe stone fruit, and a creamy texture are balanced by zesty, mouth-watering acidity. A mineral thread runs through the wine, leading to a long, pithy, and focused finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled lobster, roast chicken, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses. A serious white with food-loving depth and energy.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautiful now, but can evolve over 5–7 years, gaining complexity, savouriness, and roundness.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Momento’s Chenin Blanc / Verdelho is a powerful yet precise white—textural, fresh, and packed with personality. A wine of balance and tension, crafted with minimal intervention and maximum soul.
