Mont Blois Bacchus

by Mont Blois · Robertson, South Africa

White • Chenin Blanc • 13% ABV

South Africa has become a promised land for Chenin Blanc, and Mont Blois is crafting some of the most compelling examples around. Their Bacchus bottling – named for the Roman god of wine – offers a spiritual experience for lovers of characterful whites with depth and personality.

Mont Blois works with old vines and traditional methods to create wines that speak clearly of their Robertson origins. This Chenin walks a beautiful tightrope between richness and freshness, offering complexity that unfolds with each sip.

It's the kind of white that makes red wine devotees reconsider their allegiances – substantial enough to pair with serious food but with enough verve to be utterly refreshing. The winemaking approach is decidedly hands-off, allowing the quality of the fruit and the distinctive South African terroir to shine through without interference.
