Old vines are always touted by winemakers, grape growers, and wine enthusiasts. Why? Because old vines produce fewer grapes, and the grapes that do grow have to work very hard to mature. Old vines result in grapes that better express place and flavors. The grapes for the Burchell Outlook come from 50-year-old vines in South Africa and are incredibly robust and flavorful. We love the notes of apple, Meyer lemon, tangerine and passionfruit that play off the sharp acidity. It’s an incredibly refreshing Chenin Blanc and can stand up to flavorful foods. We love it with fresh fish, roasted chicken, and pork tenderloin in a citrus-based sauce.
The winery responsible for making this wine is Babylon's Peak, which is nestled on the slopes of the Paardeberg Mountains. It's a family-run cellar currently in its fourth generation. Winemaker Stephen Basson uses his upbringing at the vineyard to drive his winemaking process and focuses on making wines that truly represent the terroir of South African soils.
Judges love it too! It took home 90 Points and a Gold medal from the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
