ABOUT THIS WINE
The KWV Chenin Blanc Muscat d'Alexandrie 2024 is a white wine blend from South Africa's Western Cape region, produced by KWV. This wine uniquely combines Chenin Blanc, known for its freshness, with Muscat d'Alexandrie, celebrated for its intense floral aromas. KWV, founded in 1918, has a long-standing history as a cooperative of wine farmers committed to quality. The Western Cape's Mediterranean climate, moderated by oceanic influences, provides an ideal environment for slow grape ripening, contributing to the wine's character. The 2024 vintage benefited from favorable conditions, supporting the development of balanced fruit and aromatic complexity.

The harvest timing is managed to ensure the ideal balance of ripeness and acidity in the grapes.
