Chenin

Also known as: Pineau de la Loire, Steen (South Africa)

The Chenin Blanc is an extremely versatile white grape variety, mainly grown in Loire. It produces fresh, fruity and aromatic still white wines, with a high acidity that gives it a great ageing potential. The palate is lively, with marked acidity, which balances the sweetness in sweet or medium-sweet wines.
