The Houmoed Chenin Blanc is only bottled in exceptional years. The wine shows quince, apricot, peach, hint of honey, almonds and floral aromas which characterize a fresh and upfront nose. The palate has a good weight with some minerality and a long finish. Fruit and oak well balanced, a big wine with the typical wonderful mouthfeel of ripe Chenin Blanc.

The much needed rainfall during winter and a relatively cool summer provided ideal conditions for growth and ripening. An outstanding vintage for white grapes, no heat waves and low night temperatures together with a dry summer and some welcoming rain in February provided flavourful grapes with 5% botrytis. Three hours skin contact, juice cleaned by settling, fermented with different yeast strains.
