Bloemcool Diamant Chenin Blanc 2019 comes from steep granite-rich vineyards on Diamant farm in Paarl. Hand-harvested grapes were vinified in separate batches including barrel, skin, and stainless-steel fermentations before ageing on lees and blending into a wine that shows both freshness and depth.
Bloemcool Diamant Chenin Blanc 2019 grows high on the slopes of Paarl Mountain, where decomposed granite soils and boulders shape its character. The name “Diamant” honours both the farm and the granite that inspired its legacy. Grapes were hand-picked at perfect ripeness, then divided into three parts. One portion fermented naturally in barrels, another went through skin fermentation, and the rest was cooled and fermented in stainless steel. Each batch brought its own personality. After 10 months on lees, the wines were blended to create balance and complexity.
The wine glows a pale straw colour with a green tinge. Aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruit, and citrus rise from the glass, with delicate floral notes in the background. On the palate, ripe fruit flavours meet chalky minerality and lively acidity. A touch of texture from the skin-fermented portion gives weight, while the fresh finish keeps it light and elegant.
Only 1,150 bottles of Bloemcool Diamant Chenin Blanc 2019 were made. It highlights the richness of Chenin Blanc in a warm climate while keeping a line of freshness that makes it versatile and refined. Drink it now for its energy or allow it to age gracefully for extra layers of complexity.
