False Bay 'Slow' Chenin Blanc: Expressive, Textural & Handcrafted


Experience the elegance of handcrafted winemaking with False Bay 'Slow' Chenin Blanc. Established by renowned winemaker Paul Boutinot, False Bay Vineyards is a testament to years of deep-seated involvement in South Africa's vibrant wine industry. This expressive Chenin Blanc is a showcase of the unique terroir of False Bay, where a cool coastal breeze from the Indian Ocean tempers ripening, producing wines with precise varietal character and captivating purity.


The name 'Slow' refers to the wine's unique winemaking process, which features a long, slow wild yeast fermentation that takes over 8 weeks to complete. No cultured yeasts or enzymes are used, and the wine is left on its secondary lees for 5 months, resulting in a remarkable textural complexity and depth of flavour.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Bready aromas give way to distinctive dried herbaceous notes of fennel and aniseed, a tribute to the nearby Fynbos. These are beautifully complemented by a creamy lemon character.

  • Palate: The palate echoes the nose with its herbal characters and exceptional textural complexity. It's perfectly balanced and full-flavoured, a result of the extended growing season and meticulous process.

A versatile wine, the False Bay 'Slow' Chenin Blanc is equally at home partnering with lobster and other seafood, creamy risotto, or a succulent herb-roast chicken.
