Product information "Bellingham Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Bellingham Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc is thoroughly marked by its "cool climate" origins and exudes stunning aromas of exotic tropical fruit as well as subtle hints of ripe lime and toast with organgene jam, paired with undertones of stone fruit and fine oak spice. The lush palate presents taut, fresh and lively with pronounced nuances of green apple that carry through to the finish for delicious enjoyment. All in all, a wonderfully fruit-driven and seamless wine with beautiful power and remarkable balance.

The grapes were harvested by hand in two phases, with the first component fermented naturally in a combination of wooden barrels, concrete tanks and clay amphorae, producing the wonderfully fruity bouquet in the wine. The riper portion of the grapes, harvested later, was also fermented naturally in older barrels, providing the wonderfully full mouthfeel. Once fermentation was complete, the barrels were aged for 10 months with regular stirring up and down of the lees (batonnage), after which all the components were blended and bottled.
