Product information "Rudi Schultz Skeleton Bay Chenin Blanc 2020"
The Rudi Schultz Skeleton Bay Chenin Blanc already exudes an attractive bouquet of fragrant clover blossoms and subtle tropical notes when poured. Aromas that also permeate the fresh and soft palate, where they combine with lush nuances of pear and exotic tropical fruit to create a pleasure all along the line. A Chenin of remarkable balance!
The passionate surfer Rudi Schultz named his highly endowed Chenin Blanc after one of the world's best surfing beaches. Skeleton Bay (Skeleton Coast) is located on the Atlantic coast of Namibia and is known for the longest waves in the world. Recently, "surfing history" was written here when the Hawaiian surfer Koa Smith broke the world record and rode a 1.5 km long wave in one go at Skeleton Bay.

The grapes for this highly endowed Chenin Blanc were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning from vines that were more than 30 years old and pressed all over the bunch on arrival at the winery. The resulting juice was left to rest overnight and then vinified in 15 pre-stocked Burgundy oak barrels at a controlled 17°C. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine matured on the yeast for another 9 months before being bottled for final enjoyment.
