Chenin Blanc is a very popular white wine grape variety planted primarily in the Loire valley (popularly known as Vouvary) of France. The grape produces wine that is aromatic, fruity and has high acid levels. It is used to produce all kind of white wines from sparkling to dessert. The wine also ages well due to the high level of acidity. The grape is planted widely in Europe and all the New World Wine regions (USA, Canada, Argentina, South Africa, Chile, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico). It is also the most extensively planted grape in South Africa where it is known as Steen. Chenin Blanc is also called as Pineau de la Loire.
