The Francophile Chenin Blanc

Description

Made from old bush vines, this is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks with no malolactic fermentation, and lees ageing for 5 months. The resulting wine is intensely fresh with lovely minerality, zippy acidity and a creamy palate of yellow apple and ripe apricot.

Producer Details

Beyond the periphery of South Africa’s conventional vineyard regions lie great vinous treasures, resigned to anonymity; forgotten, abandoned or just simply undiscovered. It is the mission of Rick, our intrepid Cape Crusader, to seek out and liberate these rare wines, consigning them to the table of the most inquisitive and discerning imbiber. Each episode represents a single discovery; a precious parcel that is both unique and finite.
