Product information "Avondale Anima Chenin Blanc 2018"
TheAvondale Anima Chenin Blanc smells in the glass of fresh winter melon, tropical pineapple, tangy lime and a hint of delicate honey - aromas that already bear witness to the immense elegance and the full-bodied opulence of this softly wooded Chenin. On the palate, this first-class drop presents itself dense and with fresh fruit nuances of gooseberry, quince and peach, which are in excellent harmony with the soulful minerality that gives the wine its name.

The hand-picked, organically grown grapes were whole bunch pressed, after which the juice fermented naturally in French oak barrels with a capacity of 500 liters per barrel. 15 -20% of the grapes fermented in amphorae, which transmits a terrific fullness and beautiful length to the wine. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged on its lees for 12 months, with regular agitation (batonnage) to bring more fullness and complexity to the wine.
