Discover the best wines made with Chenin blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Agrelo.
Chameleon whites with taut acidity, ranging from mineral dry (Savennières, Vouvray sec) to off-dry and medium-sweet (Vouvray, Montlouis), sumptuous botrytised sweet (Quarts-de-Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon) and brilliant sparkling (Crémant de Loire, Vouvray brut). Aromas of quince, apple, honey, white flowers, beeswax and flint. An Anjou variety, also star of South Africa's Western Cape.
Argentine sub-region of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, high-altitude vineyards (900-1,100 m) at the Andean foothills on alluvial soils. Historic cradle of Argentine Malbec with old vines 40+ years. Signature Malbec as ruling red: powerful and deep with blackberry, plum, violet, blackcurrant, chocolate, vanilla and sweet spices, round tannins and velvety palate — peak for great age-worthy reds (Catena Zapata, Achaval-Ferrer). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot.
