Information about "Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2023 showcases the intriguing depth of Stellenbosch's terroir. This remarkable Chenin Blanc captivates the senses with a bouquet of magnolia and star jasmine, intertwined with zesty lime peel and a subtle hint of waxy oak spice. Its palate reveals a delightful interplay of bright acidity and refined freshness, culminating in a long, elegant finish. Cultivated in a cool-climate bush vineyard nestled in the Polkadraai Hills, this wine is a testament to meticulous winemaking on decomposed granite soils.
This award-winning Chenin Blanc underwent spontaneous fermentation in specially designed concrete eggs. Utilizing only indigenous yeast, the grapes fermented naturally, maturing for 12 months in concrete followed by an additional four months in stainless steel.
