The Source4.7(25 reviews)
The Source Chenin Blanc Reserve is a refined white wine from South Africa, showcasing the elegance of Chenin Blanc. Hand-harvested grapes from old vines are fermented in stainless steel and aged on lees, resulting in a wine with vibrant acidity and a creamy texture. Aromas of green apple, pear, and honeysuckle lead to a palate of citrus and stone fruit, with a lingering mineral finish. Perfect for those who appreciate a balanced, food-friendly white wine.

India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Salt Lake and picked up The Source Chenin Blanc Reserve. At ₹1,200 in Kolkata, this represents incredible value. The notes of Green apple and Pear pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kosha. Highly recommended!”
