Windmeul Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021

This wooded full-bodied wine shows a good concentration of yellow stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot on the nose. This flavours carry through to the multi layered palate and leaves with a long lingering aftertaste and a refreshing acidity.

The 45 year old, Dry-land bush vine is situated in the Agter-Paarl on deep decomposed Malmesbury shale. With warm summers and cool breezes in the afternoon it is the ideal place to cultivate Chenin Blanc grapes.

The grapes were hand harvested at 23°B. Only the free run juice is used and settled for 24 hours before racking to the fermentation tanks. The first half of the fermentation takes place in Stainless Steel tank and finish fermentation in barrels. Matured 12 months in French Barrique.
