Tasting notes:
Light lemon yellow colour. A combination of granny smith apple, quince,
melon, pineapple and nectarine aromas intrigue on the nose. An
abundance of fresh crisp green apple, nectarine and pineapple flavours
with a zesty lime acidity finish.
Food Pairing:
Salads & seafood
Blend:
96% Chenin Blanc, 4% Sémillon
Vinification:
Grapes from 3 different blocks on the farm were specially selected for
this fruit driven Chenin Blanc. Different winemaking techniques were
used to add maximum complexity. Specific yeast strains were used to
enhance the natural fruit aromas of Chenin Blanc. The components were
fermented in stainless steel tanks at 12-14⁰C for 21 days to ensure
maximum fruity aromas. After 2 months the components were blended
and kept on the fine lees until bottling. We added 4% Semillon to give
this wine extra citrus complexity.
