Anima Chenin Blanc

Enjoy with seared Norwegian salmon and Tuscan-style roasted asparagus.

Anima is made from certified organic Chenin Blanc grapes. Our vines range between 11 and 35 years of age, and provide low yields of between 4 and 8 tons of healthy, balanced grapes.

After fermentation the wine was kept on the lees for 12 months with regular battonage.

The hand-picked, organically grown grapes were harvested at 22 ̊ - 23° Balling, whole bunch pressed and then naturally fermented in 500-litre French Oak barrels. 15-20% of the grapes were whole bunch fermented in amphora which adds unique body and length to the wine.
