Beaumont's Hope Marguerite chenin blanc 2004 was recently selected by the influential American magazine, Wine Enthusiast, as one of their top six wines in the wooded category.

Wine Enthusiast scored this wine a total of 91 points out of 100, and commented that “this is a fine barrel-fermented chenin that manages to retain elegant citrus and perfumed fruit flavours to balance the spice and fresh toast. A delicious, dry, food-friendly chenin.”

Beaumont's Hope Marguerite chenin blanc is named in honour of Hope, the greatly beloved mother and grandmother of the family.

Already recognised as a chenin Blanc specialist, the Beaumont winery's alternate chenin blanc 2004 also scored an outstanding 88 points in this recent Wine Enthusiast round-up, and is identified as a “benchmark” chenin in the John Platter Guide.

The chenin blancs of the Cape are rapidly gaining international acclaim, since the best producers, like Beaumont, have older vines to create wines that are full of character and structure.

This variety is steadily becoming an ambassador for South African wines as their uniqueness and quality becomes more widely known.

Globally, chenin is now South Africa's largest white wine export, with 32,9 m litres being sold in 2004 - up about 4 m litres on the previous year.

The award-winning Beaumont chenin blancs can be sampled at the Bot River winery.
