Overview:
Vincent Carême 2019 Terre Brûlée Le Blanc is a unique and complex dry Chenin Blanc crafted by the talented winemakers Vincent and Tania Carême. After meeting in South Africa, the couple’s passion for winemaking led them to create small volumes of exceptional wines in both South Africa and France. This wine is a tribute to the Loire Valley's Vouvray, the birthplace of Chenin Blanc, but is crafted from hand-picked grapes grown in the stunning Swartland region of South Africa. It’s a flinty, succulent white that brings together the best of both worlds—delicate complexity and a true sense of place.
