MORE INFORMATION:
After the grapes were de-stemmed, they were given skin contact for two
days with regular pump-overs of the juice. This ensures that ripe flavours
were extracted from the skins and raisins. Only pressed juice was used,
and great care was taken that the juice was clear before fermentation
started to ensure the pure, concentrated fruit in the wine. The wine was
thermo-flashed once it reached the required sugar levels. The wine was
cross-flowed and transferred into barrels for maturation.
Made in a rich, sweet, lightly wooded style, this Chenin Blanc was
matured in 500-litre French oak barrels for 6 - 8months and was aged a
further twelve months in the bottle.
Enjoy as dessert or pair with the likes of koeksisters, matured cheeses or
other sweet treats.
