2023 Los Tros Chenin Blanc, Marras Wine Republic

2025 Los Tros Chenin Blanc, Marras

Swartland, Western Cape, South Africa

Granite Morning

Bright, textured and effortlessly refreshing, Los Tros opens with yellow peach, apricot and ripe pear, lifted by citrus and a subtle stony note. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with lively acidity running through generous stone fruit and a gentle roundness from time on the lees. It feels generous without becoming broad, mineral without becoming austere, finishing clean, saline and wonderfully moreish.

This is Chenin Blanc with genuine Swartland character. There is plenty of ripe fruit, but the granite-grown freshness keeps everything precise and energetic. It is easy to enjoy on its own, yet has enough texture and substance to work brilliantly at the table.

For when: You want something refreshing, but with more character than the usual crowd-pleaser.

Pairs with: Grilled chicken, seafood pasta, grilled prawns, white fish, creamy vegetable dishes or a gently spiced curry.

Los Tros comes from dry-farmed bush vines rooted deeply in the decomposed granite soils of Paardeberg. The demanding conditions produce small quantities of concentrated fruit, while cool morning harvesting and careful cellar work preserve Chenin Blanc’s natural freshness and detail.

The small and mighty label `Marras` is led by talented young winemaker, Martin Lamprecht. As a one-time student at Cederberg under David Nieuwoudt`s wing, and having previously also worked in the Rhône, Martin brings fresh ideas to his current home in the Swartland, a melting pot for hot new talent and South Africa`s leading region for liberal winemaking and experimentation.

In his own modest words, “All I really do is take the grapes by their hands and guide them to where they want to be.” Using grapes from the vast plain and the elevated terroir of Piekenierskloof, he makes some bright new examples of Chenin, Grenache, and a Shiraz Cinsault blend.

Handpicked. Ripened on decomposed granite and schist soils. Grapes were cooled overnight. Destemmed and crushed the next morning. Left for 4 hours to obtain skin contact. Partially natural fermented. Combination of barrel and tank fermentation. Matured on fine lees for 6 months.
