2025 Brookdale Estate, Mason Road Chenin Blanc, , Paarl, South Africa. 13%, 75cl

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Klein Drakenstein Mountains in Paarl, Brookdale Estate produces wines as unexpected as they are enchanting.

A true Cinderella story, Brookdale was once overgrown until the Rudd family recognised the potential and acquired the 67-hectare estate in 2015. Their vision was to produce fine, world-class wines, including interesting blends crafted from varietals that are somewhat ‘unusual’ in South Africa. These Mediterranean varietals, the distinctive Paarl terroir and creative winemaking techniques come together under the visionary hand of Tim Rudd and talented young winemaker Xander Sadie. 

Tasting Notes
Exuberant notes of juicy tropical fruits, apple purity and pear freshness are layered with salty minerality and creamy undertones, through to a lime-kissed finish.
