Product information "Opstal Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Opstal Chenin Blanc presents a great balance of tangy freshness and aromatic complexity. Attractive aromas of ripe pineapple, peach and fresh citrus are beautifully underpinned and held together by subtle spices and a delightful yeasty complexity. A stunning Chenin from Opstal's finest Chenin grapes from different growing sites.

The grapes were completely destemmed, crushed and pressed after eight hours on the skins. The spontaneous fermentation took place 75% in large French oak barrels and 25% in stainless steel tanks. Spontaneous fermentation here means that no commercial yeasts were used for the fermentation. Only the yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit set the fermentation in motion. After the alcoholic as well as malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine matured on the yeast in the barrel as well as in the tank for eight months before the wines were blended and bottled.
