Description
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. 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 mouthfeel.
