Follow the chenin
The king of the Loire grape varieties, also widespread in South Africa, "ch'nin", as the people of the Loire pronounce it, has the extraordinary ability to produce dry white wines as well as semi-dry, sweet, syrupy and even sparkling wines, commonly known as fines bulles. Complex and demanding, it is nonetheless endearing.

Summer wines: 5 Loire whites
1000 km. That's the length of the river we invite you to follow in just five bottles. So we had to choose and leave the wines of Auvergne and Vendée on the bank. The journey begins in central France and follows the course of the river to Muscadet, just outside Nantes. Here we come across Sauvignon, Chenin and Melon B grapes (no longer called Melon de Bourgogne, it was confusing). What all these wines have in common is their fresh, easy-to-digest character, which makes them ideal for summer drinking.
