Chenin Blanc

Grilled chicken, smoked chicken salad, brie & goat’s milk cheese.

Grapes were selected from 28 year old vines of which canopies were left open to expose bunches and leaves to sunlight ensuring fruit driven wines.

The final blend 25% was tank fermented for added freshness, combined with 2% whole bunch pressed barrel fermented Viognier and 2% barrel fermented Sémillon adds the “salt and pepper” to this Chenin Blanc.

This Chenin Blanc was 75% barrel fermented and matured for 9 months in a combination of 500 and 300 litre barrels of which 20% were new barrels.
