Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc

Being a wine with vibrant fruit it will pear well with fresh salads, light pasta dishes and grilled seafood, such as line fish and will accompany calamari and scallops very well.

2018 was an excellent vintage for many producers in the Western Cape. February and early March were warm and dry, and we were able to harvest very healthy grapes. All around, it was a great year for Chenin Blanc.

This wine is made with grapes from two Chenin Blanc vineyards on the Dornier farm. Each batch was individually fermented in a combination of stainless steel and older barrels for approximately 14 days at low temperatures. Flavour and style specific yeast were used in order to obtain the desired fruit and aromas characteristics. After fermentation, the wine was left on the full lees for six months, Lees stirring was performed weekly to improve the fullness and texture of the wine.
