Description
ADS Chenin Blanc
THE GRAPES
The grapes was harvested selectively, in the early morning, by hand at a balling of between 24and 25
IN THE CELLAR
Only the best of the free run juice was used and fermented with wild yeast. After fermentation the wine was left on its fine lees for 5 months and battonaged regularly before bottling.
THE WINE
ADS Chenin Blanc is a light straw in colour, the chenin blanc is full bodied yet elegant. The wine is very viscous, giving it a wonderful mouth feel and texture. The acid is well integrated and balanced resulting in a palate that shows great length and fullness for an unwooded wine. Primary fruit flavours of passion fruit and ripe guavas dominate the nose and palate. The resulting wine shows a rare combination of intense aromas, complexity and length which is an excellent example of South Africa chenin blanc. Compliments fish, salads and white meat dishes.
