Information about "Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2024 is a distinguished wine celebrated for its exquisite elegance. Its aromatic profile transitions gracefully from initial subtlety to delicate notes of winter melon, prickly pear, and warm hay. As it evolves, hints of ginger, honeycomb, and warming baking spices emerge, creating a complex bouquet. On the palate, this wine is rich and opulent, boasting a silky mouthfeel filled with flavors of pickled ginger, poached pear, warm honey, and sweet spices. The balance is impeccable, leading to a lingering finish where delicate marmalade and citrus notes impart freshness, complexity, and finesse.
The grapes for this exceptional Chenin Blanc were hand-picked in the early morning, then naturally fermented in French oak barrels at controlled temperatures of 13 – 14°C. Spontaneous fermentation utilized only the indigenous yeasts present on the fruit and in the environment. This barrel fermentation lasted between 40 and 60 days. After alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine aged for 10 months in French barriques, with one-third new wood, one-third second-use wood, and one-third third-use wood. Regularly stirred yeast (batonnage) ensured a fuller, richer mouthfeel.
