Why South African Chenin Blanc Stands Out

The Chenin Blanc Association: Driving Quality and Innovation
The Chenin Blanc Association of South Africa (CBA) has been instrumental in elevating the quality and reputation of South African Chenin Blanc. Since its founding in 2000, the CBA has united more than 140 producers and spearheaded initiatives that have put South African Chenin Blanc on the world stage.
Notable Achievements of the Chenin Blanc Association
· Award-Winning Wines: Thanks to the CBA’s focus on research and collaboration, South African Chenin Blancs have earned top accolades globally. For example, the KF Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021 was named the world’s best Chenin Blanc at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards.
· Standard Bank Chenin Blanc Top 10 Challenge: This annual competition, organized by the CBA since 2014, celebrates the country’s best Chenin Blancs and drives producers to new heights. Over R2.1 million in prize money has been invested in farmworker community projects, including early-learning centers and libraries.
· Community and Accessibility: The CBA has made wine appreciation more inclusive by translating the Chenin aroma wheel into local languages such as isiZulu, isiXhosa, and Shona.
