Information about "Leeuwenkuil Reserve Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Leeuwenkuil Reserve Chenin Blanc 2024 stands as a remarkable testament to the terroir of Swartland, showcasing a meticulously crafted blend from three distinct Chenin Blanc parcels. This exquisite selection comprises only the finest barrels of the vintage, resulting in a wine that delights the senses. Its aromatic profile captivates with subtle notes of citrus blossoms, quince, and yellow apple, leading to a full-bodied palate rich in stone fruit, underpinned by a nuanced, slightly core-like character. The finish reveals a refreshing mineral backbone, promising elegance and depth with each sip.
The hand-harvested grapes were whole-bunch pressed to preserve natural acidity. Half of the juice was fermented in 5000L French oak barrels, while the remainder was vinified in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the wine matured in French oak for nine months before blending and bottling.
