Classy, rich wine with attractive hints of peach from oak barrel fermentation
| Vinification | Direct filling in a pneumatic press, and once the must is settled, the fermentation takes place in 400 liters oak barrows (a third new, a third of one wine and a third of two wines). |
| Élevage | The fermentations last weeks in barrel; as a whole the wine stays in them for 10 months, with partial or total malolactic fermentation. The stirring of the lees are made according to the vintage, so as to give body to the wine. |
| Harvest | Hand picking with 2 or even 3 selections. The grapes are very ripe, but the focus is to make a dry white. |
| Tasting Notes | This delicious, dry Chenin Blanc was selectively harvested by hand from reduced yield vines, then fermented and and matured entirely in oak barrels resulting in a very classy, rich wine, with attractive hints of peach in the nose. |
| Cellaring | The Chenin Blanc is well known for its longevity; 10 years or much more. Many do not wait to appreciate the fantastic aromas of fresh white fruits. |
Classy, rich wine with attractive hints of peach from oak barrel fermentation. 30-35 hl/ha yield, 10+ year cellaring potential.
