Tasting note
South Africa makes superb Chenin Blanc and here's an example: awash with guavas and melon, the tropical flavours kept cool and refreshing by underlying citrus and minerality.
Awards
International Wine & Spirits Competition Gold Medal
Viticulture
Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (10-35 yr old), bush-vine (un-trellised) vineyards with low yields of 6,5 tons/ha.
Vinification
Only free-run juice used in producing this wine. After settling the must was inoculated and allowed to ferment over 20 days in stainless steel tanks at an average fermentation temperature of 13 degrees centigrade. The wine was left on its lees for 3 months until bottling for richer and fuller mouth-feel.
Food Match
A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled.
