False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc 2022

£6.75

False Bay ‘Slow’ Chenin Blanc 2022
Coastal Region, South Africa
The grapes are sourced from old bush vines in the Swartland and Stellenbosch regions, and it is the low yields from these old vines that are the key to making fabulous Chenin Blanc.
The wine is left on the lees for 10 months before bottling, to add complexity and mouthfeel.  There are no additives other than the judicious use of sulphur as a preservative.
On the nose there are bready aromas with hints of fennel and aniseed. This leads into a textured mouthful of soft apple/honeyed fruit, finishing with suggestions of lemon curd and good acidity.  Amazing value for money!
