Chenin Blanc by the ocean

 

Made on the Western Cape coast, this wine is a beach babe, kind of like you. Whether you’re at the beach or just envisioning ocean sounds to decompress from the day, we highly recommend doing it with a glass of Old World Players. Give yourself the gift of this full-bodied, dry white wine with melon and pineapple flavors, minerality, and a bracing acidity. Made from Chenin Blanc, a grape that has become a signature of warm South Africa.

 

Get to know the Western Cape

 

The cool, maritime climate of the Western Cape is the perfect place to grow Chenin Blanc, sister of Sauvignon Blanc, but with her own distinct personality. Here at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Chenin Blanc gets an incredible amount of sunshine which gives the wine loud, punchy fruit flavors. At the same time, cooling breezes off the coast slow ripening down a bit, and this back-and-forth is what brings the final wine into the perfect balance. Sip away.

 

Have it with plenty of fish in the sea

 

It’s true what they say: there are plenty of fish in the sea, and you should have Old World Players with all of them. The generous fruit in this wine will pair perfectly with scallops over risotto, oysters with a mignonette, salmon salad, or tuna steak over a bed of arugula.
