Nuvo Nivo, Intaba Chenin Blanc 2025

Place: South Africa

Grape: Chenin Blanc

Vibe: Value

This Nuvo Nivo range is something I really appreciate. Finding well-made wines with actual value is seemingly impossible today, so when the good guys over at Modal couldn’t find anything either, they did it themselves. Kings & Queens! Intaba is a lot of wine for not a lot of cash. Stone-fruited and aromatic, with a creamy mid-palate that’s washed away by Chenin’s cleansing acidity. Lip-smacking. ABV: 13.5%
