Chenin Blanc 2019

VITICULTURE:
South East- North West facing dryland 12 year old bush vines are grown in deep Oakleaf and Clovelly soils.

WINEMAKING:
The bunches were destemmed without crushing, retaining a wholeberry component to press at about 70%.
Juice was settled overnight with pectalytic enzyme in a stainless steel tank and then the clear juice was gravity fed to a combination of 400, 300 and 225 liter French, Hungarian and Romanian oak barrels.
All barrels underwent natural fermentation to start and were then inoculated with a commercial yeast strain to ensure ferment to dryness. For additional complexity a small portion (3%) of natural sweet Viognier was included in the blend.
The wine was matured for 8 months in 13% new oak barrels and batonaged regularly to develop mouthfeel, then received a light filtration before bottling.

TASTING NOTES:
Rich, upfront notes of pineapple and sweet orange blossom evolve to a fresh, juicy midpalate with hints of lemon zest and white peach lingering on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING:
This bold wine will complement a more robust fish dish such as Tuna or Salmon and work equally well with Roast Pork.
