Winemaking and Tasting Notes
This Chenin Blanc was carefully hand-selected from the interior of the canopy with shading from the sun to maintain high acidity and delicate aromas. The grapes were harvested in the cool winter nights of February at 22°Brix to naturally preserve the freshness of the juice and hand-sorted before destemming and crushing.
This 2021 Spring Chenin Blanc is a burst of tropical fruit on the nose, with hints of pink guava and passionfruit. It is inviting with soft impression, juiciness, and a hint of sweetness. The wine is crisp on the palate with a zesty acidity and refreshing finish, and is perfect for an aperitif or a great match with an array of food from spicy Thai salads to fresh seafood.
Spring Chenin Blanc is crafted to be enjoyed young and a few years of cellaring and will reveal more surprises. Drink now- 2027. Chilled to 8°C before serving.
