David Finlayson Camino Africana Single Vineyard Old Vine Chenin Blanc is a dry, mineral-driven white wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa, crafted with minimal intervention to let the vineyard speak for itself. Made from bushvines planted in the 1960s, it is a wine of real depth, texture, and character that showcases why old vine Chenin Blanc from the Cape is one of the wine world's most exciting propositions. Why You'll Love It Old vine Chenin Blanc is South Africa's greatest white wine treasure, and David Finlayson Wines is one of its most thoughtful custodians. The Camino Africana is a single vineyard wine made with minimal interference, allowing decades of vine struggle in the soil to express themselves fully in the glass. The result is a wine of pronounced minerality, a distinctive salty umami character, and a textural complexity that sets it apart from almost anything else at this price point. This is Chenin Blanc for those who want something genuinely different. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-picked from two bushvine vineyards planted in the 1960s, where old, deep-rooted vines produce small yields of intensely flavoured fruit. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed and fermented with natural yeast in older French oak barrels, preserving the wine's natural character and terroir expression. After primary fermentation, the wine is lightly sulphured to prevent malolactic fermentation and matured for 12 months on the lees, building texture, complexity, and a beautifully integrated depth. Tasting Notes Medium-bodied and dry with a pale golden colour. The nose is restrained and precise, with citrus, white stone fruit, and a distinctive mineral edge. On the palate, textured and elegant with pronounced minerality, a subtle salty umami character, and a long, complex finish that reflects the age and depth of the vines. Serve at 10 to 12 degrees. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for seafood and shellfish, particularly oysters, grilled langoustines, and dressed crab. A
