Information about "Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Chenin Blanc 2023 exemplifies the ancient méthode ancestrale of sparkling wine production, where the wine undergoes a natural second fermentation in the bottle, sealing in delicate bubbles. This Chenin Blanc showcases an inviting bouquet of aromatic apples and pears, complemented by a zest of citrus notes. The palate is graced with a slight sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a refreshing finish. With its unfiltered nature, this wine may present sediment; some may prefer to decant, while others might gently shake the bottle to achieve a harmonious blend. A true delight for sparkling wine enthusiasts!
The grapes are pressed whole, without enzymes or sulfites. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and once the sugar levels drop, it is bottled during primary fermentation, capturing the carbon dioxide inside for delightful bubbles. Post-bottling, it rests on the lees for about 12 months, allowing natural development with possible fine sediment.
