Chenel is a white South African wine grape variety that was produced by a crossing of Chenin blanc and Trebbiano. The variety was produced in 1973 by Christiaan Johannes Orffer (1926-2008) at the Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute. [1]
It was the first domestic South African grape varietal to be introduced after Pinotage.
