WOODED CHENIN BLANC 2021

Bouquet: Notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and lemon on the nose. Taste: A rich palate with a fresh acidity and mineral finish.

Made from a Single Vineyard of Chenin Blanc on top of Paarl Mountain. This wine has unique terroir and the noble qualities of the Chenin Blanc grape. The soil is mostly decomposed granite, and this gives natural acidity and freshness to the wine with excellent ageing potential.

The grapes were brought back to the cellar where they were de-stemmed and sorted to remove any unwanted berries. The berries were crushed and the juice was settled overnight and only clean free-run juice was transferred to the fermentation vessels.

This wine was naturally fermented in Ceramic Amphora, a Diamanté Wine Tanks and French oak barrels. The wine was aged on the lees for eight months before blending the different components to create perfect harmony.
