"Chenin from the other end of the world

Terre Brûlée blanc is made by Vincent Carême in South Africa, near Cape Town, in the Swartland appellation. The granitic soil and Mediterranean climate give Chenin Blanc a fine balance between lightness and generosity. The wine is complex and full-bodied, oscillating between citrus aromas and finely toasted, smoky notes after 9 months' ageing in wood and stainless steel tanks. Another version of Chenin to discover!

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

The discreet Vincent Carême, who also produces steen (the local name for chenin) in South Africa under the name Terre Brûlée (40,000 bottles a year), is now one of the leading lights of the Vouvray appellation. On the 17.5 hectares of Chenin vines planted on the flinty clay soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, meticulous organic farming (certified in 2007) ensures healthy, bright grapes in the cellar. This forty-something tends towards increasingly dry wines, but his Le Peu Morier and Tendre energetically integrate residual sugars, offering salty, sapid whites. The demands are taken even further with the start of biodynamic treatments, and ageing in old barrels (400 l) is increasingly precise. These wines are very meticulous.
