On Saturday 8 June 2024, Brookdale Estate is joining wineries and wine enthusiasts all over the world in celebration of #DrinkChenin Day.
Since its inception in 2014, #DrinkChenin Day has become a highlight on the international wine calendar as a global event that also shines the spotlight on South African Chenin Blanc.
The cultivar which was first planted here on the slopes of the Du Toitskloof Mountains in 1985, has under new ownership of the Rudd family who purchased the land in 2015, produced the award-winning 2020 Brookdale Estate Old Vine Chenin Blanc.
- At the 2022 Trophy Wine Show, this wine took Gold with a top score of 97/100 placing it first in its category, to win the coveted Rosa Kruger Trophy for best Old Vine Wine.
- The sixth vintage (2022) of this flagship Old Vine Chenin Blanc has just been released and is now available online, at leading wine merchants, and at the Tasting Room in the Paarl winelands.
On #DrinkChenin Day, a special, limited release bottle of 375ml Brookdale Old Vine Chenin Blanc (2019 vintage) will be on sale in the Tasting Room for R180 per bottle (for sale on 8 June 2024 only and available only while stocks last).
Brookdale winemaker Kiara Scott Farmer also takes pride in producing the popular Mason Road Chenin Blanc as part of the estate’s range of lifestyle wines. On #DrinkChenin Day, the 2023 Mason Road Chenin Blanc will be available for complimentary tasting at Brookdale’s Tasting Room (open from 11:00 to 17:00 on Saturday 8 June 2024).
