Tasting notes

The 2018 Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc seems very shy on the nose, and it should develop beautifully over the next few years. The palate is pure and ripe, with a clean, fresh citrus core. There is a soft, white powdery minerally expression that is very pleasing with a medium finish. The wine is balanced with soft floral tones that linger on the aftertaste. This wine was fermented naturally in neutral oak barrels and comes from their two oldest vineyards. The Hope Marguerite bottling honors their grandmother and is named after her. 17,500 bottles made.

About this wine

Beaumont is a family-owned winery located in the Bot River region of South Africa. The winery was established in 1974 by Raoul and Jayne Beaumont, who were among the first to plant Chenin Blanc in the area. Today, their son Sebastian is the winemaker and continues the family tradition of producing exceptional wines.

One of their most notable wines is the Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc. This wine is named after Sebastian's grandmother and is made from old vines that are over 40 years old. The grapes are handpicked and whole-bunch pressed, then fermented in French oak barrels. The wine is left on the lees for 12 months, which gives it a rich and creamy texture.

The Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc has a beautiful golden colour and aromas of honey, apricot, and citrus. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavours of ripe peach, honeycomb, and a hint of vanilla. The wine has a long and complex finish, with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness.

Beaumont is known for their commitment to sustainable farming practices and their respect for the environment. They use natural methods to control pests and diseases, and they have a strong focus on biodiversity. This dedication to sustainability is reflected in the quality of their wines, which are some of the best in South Africa.

Overall, the Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc is a stunning wine that showcases the best of what Beaumont has to offer. It is a wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
