Information about "Opstal Carl Everson Chenin Blanc 2022"
The Opstal Carl Everson Chenin Blanc 2022 is a remarkable expression of this noble varietal, showcasing the elegance and complexity characteristic of the Breedekloof region. Its delicate bouquet unfolds a heavenly medley of fine lemon créme, fragrant mandarin, star anise, and nutmeg. Rich yet nuanced, this distinguished Chenin Blanc captivates the palate with delicious citrus and terroir-driven minerality. A fresh acidity adds a delightful balance to the luxurious opulence, culminating in a masterful tasting experience. From a 1982 hillside vineyard in Slanghoek, Carl Everson consistently ranks among the finest Chenin Blancs available.
The grapes for this exquisite Chenin Blanc were meticulously handpicked at optimal ripeness. Upon arrival at the winery, they were subjected to natural fermentation in barrels, using only wild yeasts indigenous to the environment, with no commercial yeasts or enzymes added. Following fermentation, the wine matured for eight months in large oak barrels before bottling.
