Product Description:
On the nose, ripe yellow fruits dominate, underpinned by a fine minerality. On the palate, apple and peach notes clearly emerge, while the pleasantly fresh acidity brings a lively drive to the taut, supple texture.

Vinifikation The Chenin Blanc B28 from the Cape winery Stellenrust is a dry white wine that truly "has it all." This is primarily due to the vineyard from which the grapes originate: Block 28. In contrast to the farm's other Chenin Blanc vineyards, which are more exposed to the afternoon sun, Block 28 particularly benefits from the morning sun. Both the temperatures in the vineyard and the UV radiation are comparatively low, allowing the wines to develop a lively acidity, class, and elegance. The bush vines are also over 40 years old and rooted in granite-rich soils, which in turn contribute to the wine's aromatic finesse. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the juice remains in contact with the grape skins overnight before being drained into French oak barriques. The barrels are four to six years old and impart very little flavor to the wine. However, the cellar masters at Stellenrust are not concerned with the oak itself, but rather with the texture that the barrels lend to their Chenin Blanc. The barrel fermentation with wild yeasts lasts five months, followed by another two months of aging in the barrique. The result of this well-thought-out process is an excellently crafted Chenin Blanc whose full potential has been realized.
