Chenin Blanc

Balance Selection Chenin Blanc 750ml

WINE DESCRIPTION

This medium bodied wine shows a beautiful melange of citrus and pear flavours complimented by hints of guava and passion fruit.

VINEYARDS

The vineyards are found in a variation in meso-climates, exposed hills, and sheltered valleys, with soils from Granite, Sandstone soils and Alluvial soils. Grapes are picked from a selection of these different wards in the Western Cape.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES

Cold skin maceration was carried out for six hours before the free run juice was left to ferment in stainless steel tanks for three weeks at 12°C. The wine was left on the gross lees where batonnage was applied for a week. It was then racked and left on the fine lees till right before bottling.

FOOD PAIRING

Goes well with oysters, seared tuna, pasta with a rich Gorgonzola sauce and quiche.
