Roodekrantz | Donkermaan Chenin Blanc

The Vibe

"Donkermaan" translates to Dark Moon, which fits this mysterious, complex wine perfectly. Because it was fermented in barrels and grown at high altitudes, it has these beautiful, warm flavors of baked apple and a tiny kick of ginger spice. It feels rich, weighty, and totally luxurious.
