Yo El Rey - What Could Go Wrong? Chenin Blanc 2024

(Durbanville, South Africa)

 The What Could Go Wrong cuvees from Yo El Rey are always experimental, and for this vintage, made from 100% Chenin, and this vintage has 14 days of skin contact, developing beautifully spicy phenolics and a robust, succulent texture balanced by refreshing acidity. The grapes are from an incredible block looking back towards Cape Town, with uninterrupted views of Table Mountain, and only about 5km from the sea.

Modal’s own Angelo van Dyk is the winemaker behind the Yo El Rey project, drawing inspiration from the wine scene in the UK, his current home, and South Africa, where he was born and raised. These wines are crafted in South Africa, working with negoce fruit sourced from friends, trusted farmers and small, organic growers around South Africa's Cape Town. The wines are made in Stellenbosch in a low intervention way, prioritising a style of wine that's energetic, vibrant and ultimately extremely drinkable.
