Information about "Opstal Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Opstal Chenin Blanc showcases a splendid harmony of lively freshness and aromatic depth. Enticing notes of ripe pear, pineapple, and zesty citrus are beautifully integrated with delicate spices, a hint of thyme, and a delightful yeast complexity. This exquisite Chenin, crafted from Opstal's finest grapes, exhibits remarkable terroir-driven minerality from its diverse vineyards.
The grapes were fully destemmed, crushed, and pressed after eight hours of skin contact. Fermentation occurred spontaneously, with 75% in large French oak barrels and 25% in stainless steel tanks. After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, the wine matured for eight months on its lees before blending and bottling.
