Information about "Illimis Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Illimis Chenin Blanc 2023 captivates the senses with an enchanting bouquet of succulent white peach, Fynbos, lemongrass, and cardamom. On the palate, delightful layers of buttered toast with orange marmalade unfold, accented by a hint of lime. This wine harmoniously balances a crisp minerality that culminates in a graceful, saline finish, leaving a lasting impression. Concentrated yet elegantly restrained.
Wie bei allen Illimis Weinen folgt auch der Ausbau des Chenin Blancs einen minimalistischen Ansatz: Das Traubengut wurde größtenteils am ganzen Bund gepresst, die Gärung erfolgte auf natürliche Weise, und der Wein reifte für 7 Monate in alten, neutralen Eichenfässern auf der Hefe.
