Information about "De Trafford Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc 2021"
Radiating a lovely golden hue in the glass, the De Trafford Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc 2021 unfolds an immensely complex bouquet. The nose entices with aromas of seductive honey, peach stone, salted butter, and nuts. Skin fermentation accentuates the multidimensional flavor profiles of this remarkable varietal. On the palate, a generous and full-bodied experience delights with opulent fruit intensity, beautifully balanced by a fine tannin structure and subtle oak notes. The finish resonates long, revealing an elegantly complex and pleasantly dry character. The skin maceration elevates the delectable Chenin Blanc aromas—best served slightly warmer than most white wines and cooler than red, ideally at around 15°C.
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, fully destemmed and crushed upon arrival at the winery, then fermented in open stainless steel tanks with regular immersion of the skins for a week. The fermentation occurred spontaneously, meaning no commercial yeasts were added; only the natural wild yeasts present on the fruit and surrounding area initiated the process. With the exception of a small amount of SO2, no additions were made to the wine. Just before fermentation completed, the wine was pressed and transferred to oak barrels to finish both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, before being bottled by hand without filtration.
