Product Description:
This Chenin Blanc shows prominent aromas of stone fruit such as pear and dried apricot. Subtle notes of raisin, honey and fynbos on the nose. The wine has a full and rich mouthfeel, which can be attributed to the prolonged alcoholic fermentation, keeping the fine lees in suspension. The combination of concrete eggs and barrels provides good structure to the wine but also beautiful freshness.

Vinifikation The winemaking philosophy for all our premium white wines from Waterkloof is the same. We follow a traditional, minimalist approach, meaning we interfere as little as possible with the winemaking process. This allows the prevalent flavours in that particular vineyard to ultimately express themselves in the wine. To achieve this goal, all grapes are whole bunch pressed in our modern basket press to extract the juice in the gentlest possible way. The juice is then allowed to settle for 24 hours, after which it is racked from the settling tank into concrete eggs and also older 600-litre barrels. We do not inoculate the juice with commercial yeast, but allow the wild yeast prevalent in the vineyard to ferment the juice. We also do not add any acid or enzymes during the process. The natural fermentation process took approximately 3 months, after which we left the wine in the barrels and eggs to develop further complexity. Only a light filtration was used before bottling.
