Information about "AA Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2025"
The AA Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc captivates the senses with vibrant aromas of flint, honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit. This wine showcases a remarkable texture and richness, with an intense flavor profile where lively acidity balances the ripe fruit, imparting a refreshing, crisp character. The finish is clean and mineral-driven, with a subtle nutty nuance derived from the contact with the lees. A brilliant expression of Swartland, bursting with freshness, character, and full-bodied taste!
The grapes for this Chenin Blanc were carefully handpicked and refrigerated overnight. The next day, they were whole-bunch pressed and left to rest in tank. Harvesting occurred over a span of 12 days, with fresh juice added daily to the fermenting batch, extending the alcoholic fermentation by about 20 days. Fermented exclusively with indigenous yeast, 25% in old barrels and large foudres, the wine was aged on the lees for ten months before bottling with occasional stirring.
