Product information "Rijk's Private Cellar Chenin Blanc 2015"
The Rijks Private Cellar Chenin Blanc flows into the glass in a delicate straw yellow colour and promising aromas of yellow summer fruit, tropical pineapple and fresh melon welcome the nose. Slightly nutty notes can also be sniffed. The lush and incredibly creamy palate is caressed by deliciously seductive nuances of fragrant citrus blossoms and butterscotch. Of great fullness this noble drop ends in a long lasting and lingering finish. Elegance, finesse, complexity and a tremendous fruit concentration distinguish this Chenin!

The grapes were handpicked and then carefully pressed. 20% of the wine was fermented cold to give it freshness and fruit. The remaining 80% was fermented in French and Hungarian oak. Again 30% of the wine fermented in wood was fermented spontaneously and then matured in barrels for 11 months before being blended and bottled.
