Product Description:
Striking, complex, and structurally demanding. The bouquet blends brioche, quince, and pear. On the palate, creamy density and richness, silky in texture, sophisticated. The acidity provides harmony and wonderfully complements the caramel, honey, and panna cotta notes. The wood is perfectly balanced. Powerful and astounding, complex and somewhat distinctive.

Vinifikation
The grapes for the Stellenrust 56 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc come from 56-year-old Chenin Blanc vines that thrive on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills, part of South Africa's oldest wine route. The grape juice was left to settle for several days without the addition of enzymes. Afterwards, the juice was transferred into a special selection of barrels and left for natural fermentation. Fermentation lasted for 8 months, after which the wine was left on its lees for another month. The wine matured for 9 months in oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% Hungarian oak).
