Vinifikation De Trafford's 2020 Chenin Blanc is something of a Stellenbosch blend, with grapes from two blocks in Bottelary and two others from Helderberg, one on Keermont and the other from Post House. The grapes are lightly crushed and have skin contact for about 2 hours before being gently pressed in a traditional basket press. The juice is allowed to settle for 2 days before being inoculated with natural yeasts. The entire wine was fermented in 225l, 400l, and some 700l barrels and aged for 10 months, with the lees stirred as needed to complete fermentation. 10% new French oak was used, and the wine partially underwent malolactic fermentation. Light fining with bentonite - a natural clay. The Chenin Blanc was bottled unfiltered by hand.
