Platinum Old Bushvine Chenin Blanc

Enjoy this wine chilled (10-12°C). Pairs well with matured brie or camembert cheese topped with roasted nuts and chili jam. Also rich and creamy fish or chicken dishes or slow-roasted pork belly draped with apple glaze.

The wine was kept on the lees in barrel and stirred weekly to gain extra complexity and mouth feel for a total of 9 months until bottling.

Grapes were hand picked end-February, brought to the cellar crisp and cold, followed by a light whole-bunch pressing only extracting the finest free-run juice for vinification. Juice cold settled for 48 hours, racked with some fine lees to older 300Ltr French oak barrels were fermentation commenced. Fermentation temperature was controlled between 16-22°C and was completed after 12days
