MAN Family Wines Free-Run Steen Chenin Blanc 2022

A crisp, expressive, light-bodied wine. Light straw colour. Vibrant aromas of quince, pear and pineapple. On the palate, fresh stone fruit and apple flavours are backed by refreshing acidity, minerality and a full-bodied mouthfeel. A versatile food wine that will pair well with poultry, shellfish and vegetable dishes. Great to drink now, but ages beautifully over 2-5 years. Serve chilled.

Grapes were hand-harvested at between 22.5 and 23.5° balling and only the free-run juice was used for this wine, with no pressing of the skins. After settling, the must was inoculated and allowed to ferment over 20 days in stainless steel tanks at an average fermentation temperature of 13˚C.

The wine was left on its gross lees for 3 months until bottling for a richer mouthfeel and longevity. 100% unoaked to preserve freshness of fruit. Fined and filtered before bottling.
