Tasting Notes: Le Courier is an intricate Chenin Blanc with apricot, peach, hints of tropical fruit and floral aromas fresh and upfront on the nose. More layers follow on the palate with soft vanilla, canned peaches and a lingering pear drop finish.

Wine is cold fermented between 12-14°C. Once fermentation has been completed the wine is left on the
gross lees for 3 months, stirring up the lees once a week with minimal sulphur for added complexity. The wine is then cleaned up and filtered for bottling. 

Le Courier Chenin Blanc has its roots in the granite soils of Stellenbosch and Agter Paarl. The vineyards are
managed for premium quality and freshness, with no leaf removal and harvesting at perfect ripeness. 

The Old Road Wine Co. Originals range recalls the stories of the legendary characters who shaped the
Franschhoek community in its early years. Le Courier of old was a bastion of commitment, toiling through rain
and shine to bring the villagers their daily fresh foods, from livestock to vegetables. Like its namesake, this
complex Chenin Blanc was built for the long haul. Its ripe stone fruit flavours and leesy richness ripple through
to a persistent, satisfying finish.
