Black Elephant 2023 'The Power of Love’ Chenin Blanc

The Black Elephant Vintners ‘The Power of Love’ Chenin Blanc 2023 is a rock-and-roll interpretation of South Africa’s signature white grape. Hailing from the Franschhoek Valley, this wine embodies the "rebel" spirit of the estate—focusing on raw expression, minimal intervention, and a vibrant, soulful energy that lives up to its name.

• The Nose: An explosive, aromatic profile featuring ripe guava, Granny Smith apple, and white honey, accented by a subtle, flinty smoke that adds immediate intrigue.

• The Palate: Lean and "electric" rather than oily. It delivers a high-voltage acidity that carries flavours of lemon zest and stone fruit, balanced by a slight, bready texture from time spent on the lees.

• The Finish: Crisp, bone-dry, and remarkably clean, leaving a lingering trail of wet stone and citrus pith.
