Information about "Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment 2024"
With its lively straw hue and fresh green reflections, the Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment captivates from the glass. Aromas of ripe stone fruit, orange zest, and sweet clover create an inviting bouquet. On the palate, this Chenin Blanc showcases a refined and elegant restraint, with pleasant tannins, sweet fruit, and citrus peel culminating in a long and delightful finish. Crafted with passion from the oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard (39 years old) at Delheim, this certified heritage wine stands as a remarkable expression of esteemed terroir, minimalistic winemaking, and the wonders of nature!
The grapes for this Chenin Blanc were hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. Naturally occurring wild yeast initiated fermentation. The wine matured 'sur lie' for seven months and underwent aging in French oak barrels for another nine months.
