The Standard Bank Top 10 Chenin Blanc Awards function was held at Erinvale Hotel in Somerset West on Friday 30th August 2024. 9 out of the 10 awarded wines were from certified OLD VINES - and the 10th is an older vine but not yet certified (the Nabygelegen). This means that all winners are from vineyards over 35 years old - such a coup for the Old Vine Project. Congrats go to all the winners and especially to Stellenrust for having 3 wines in the TOP 10 - an incredible achievement. In a bold move to capitalise on China's mounting interest in white wines, Standard Bank, sponsor of the Chenin Blanc Top 10 Challenge, will showcase the variety's best-of-best wines at ProWine in Shanghai. And the TOP 10 Chenin Blanc wines are: Anthonij Rupert Cape of Good Hope Van Lill Chenin Blanc 2023 Flagstone Paradigm Chenin Blanc Reserve 2023 Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Chenin Blanc 2023 Knorhoek Chenin Blanc 2022 Lievland Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2023 Nabygelegen Rudmatis Chenin Blanc 2022 Stellenrust Secrets & Lies Chenin Blanc 2023 Stellenrust Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2023 Stellenrust Next FN Level Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2023 Zevenwacht Z Collection Chenin Blanc 2023
