Information about "Raats Original Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Raats Original Chenin Blanc 2024 enchants with its inviting bouquet of kiwi, pineapple, and ripe melon, offering a vibrant expression of fresh fruit that culminates in a lively citrus finish. The wine’s long-lasting, mineral aftertaste reflects the charm of mature vines and the exceptional terroir from which it hails. This exemplary Chenin Blanc is a testament to its origin, showcasing an undeniable quality that captivates the senses.
The grapes for Raats Original Chenin Blanc originate partly from vines growing on weathered granite and partly from those on Table Mountain sandstone. The grapes from these different soil types ferment separately, with the granite grapes imparting a distinctive chalky minerality, while the sandstone contributes tropical fruit and structure. After a cold maceration for two to three days, the juice undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks (14º - 16ºC) and ages on the lees for 6 months before bottling, without the use of oak.
