Information about "Pilgrim Chenin Blanc 2023"
Poured into the glass, the Pilgrim Chenin Blanc 2023 reveals a captivating golden hue with hints of green. Its aromatic profile is both vibrant and expressive, featuring ripe stone fruits, white pear, and yellow peach entwined with the distinctive mineral character of Swartland. Subtle notes of fynbos, almonds, and citrus add complexity. On the palate, it is broad and well-structured, preserving remarkable freshness and showcasing great aging potential. This is a rich and elegant wine, culminating in a long and delightful finish. Crafted from 35-plus-year-old vines in clay and sandstone soils of the Voor Paardeberg area, this Chenin Blanc is a true reflection of its origin.
The grapes were vinified in three separate batches, fermented and matured in French oak barrels (225L, 300L, 500L). After nine months of aging post-bottling, they were kept in the bottle for an additional nine months before release, ensuring a complete flavor development.
