Chenin Blanc 2024
From 41-year-old dry-farmed vines in Stellenbosch’s Geluksoord Vineyard, this is Banele Vakele’s latest release under his Tembela label. Whole-bunch pressed, naturally fermented, and aged for 10 months in used oak barrels, the 2024 vintage is what Banele calls “splashy”—a vibrant, fruit-forward expression with energy and finesse. No fining, just a gentle filter and minimal sulfur at bottling. Pure, clean Chenin with a strong sense of place.
