2019 Chenin Blanc

Small parcels of Chenin Blanc grapes were selected to make this wine. It has a star bright clarity: light straw with a green tinge. The nose, which is at first shy, opens up to reveal layers of passionfruit, pear and stone fruits, and a whisper of honeycomb, right at the back. Fresh and focused palate , steely, with pear drops, filling out the middle. Partial maturation in older oak barrels for 6 months , lends a creaminess to the finish which is completed with the gentle tropical sweetness which is the trade mark of Chenin Blanc grapes that was fully ripe when picked.
