Chenin Blanc Selection | 6 bottles

Note from Craig: "Baby Bandito is a project we started in 2015. We wanted to work with vineyards that deliver wines that can be drunk young yet still “over deliver” in quality one would expect from our most affordable wine. There was a heavy influence from street artists (the good ones, not just your drunk student defacing someone’s wall, unless it was good) in the labels and the idea of a “series” using different and bright colours. The names of the wines come from expressions that we use as if giving encouragement to a child. “Keep on Punching” is an expression my good friend and hockey mate, Prof Lyal White, used to always say when the going got tough: “Keep on punching, the head will fall”."

Thistle and Weeds' Duwweltjie Chenin Blanc has naartjie and orange, peach and apricot, some waxiness, some nuttiness and a touch of spice on the nose. The palate is super-concentrated and super-flavourful. Sweet upfront but suitably savoury on the finish, tangy acidity lending drive

Matured for 10 months in older oak.

Bosman's Optenhorst Chenin Blanc has a mélange of apricots, nectarines, grapefruit rind, honey and almond brittle on the nose. A beautiful restrained mouth feel with a lively, mineral accent finish.

Barrel fermented naturally and matured in French oak for 6 months.

A great match for pork chops with braised apples; seared scallops, or a chicken casserole.

A wonderful Old Vine Chenin Blanc with flavours of fynbos, vibrant and engaging on the nose. Quince and stone fruit on the palate, crispy/lively acidity.

This lovely Chenin Blanc is a pale straw in colour. It has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. The wine has a fresh, mineral finish.

Best drunk young and served at 10 to 12 ˚C.

This Chenin Blanc was naturally fermented and matured in neutral 300L and 500L casks for 10 months.

On the nose you'll find yellow apple, pineapple and spicy white pear.  The palate bursts with rich, broad flavor with great depth and a well-balanced acidity.
