VINTAGE:

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.
