Originally from the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc made its way to South Africa with early French settlers. Today, Chenin Blanc is the Cape’s flagship white. And you’re in for a fresh, fruit-rich taste with The Huguenot Chenin Blanc 2025, which was inspired by the French Huguenots who settled in the wine’s native Franschhoek Valley (Franschhoek is Afrikaans for “French Corner”).

This fresh and vibrant South African Chenin Blanc is the perfect fit for Sean Connery’s last official outing as James Bond, in a thrilling adventure centered on diamond smuggling in Las Vegas. Director Guy Hamilton introduced a lighter, more humorous tone to the series, which became a hallmark of the Roger Moore era to follow. The wine’s South African heritage creates an inspired connection to the diamond-focused plot, and its bright, vibrant character matches a more playful and entertaining Bond. Together, they sparkle with sophistication and fun.
