Chenin Blanc Ava, Rall 2024

Tasting Notes

If Noa is all about granite soils, Ava comes from the other side of the Swartland in Riebeeksrivier and is planted on schist. Slightly more open and supple as a result, it's another delicious Chenin Blanc, with aromas of thatch and botanical spices and a palate of pear, citrus and yellow apple underpinned by a note of quinine-like bitterness. Drink 2025-30.
