Product information "Simonsig Starting Blocks Chenin Blanc 2025"
Delicately honey-coloured with fresh green colour reflections, the Simonsig Chenin Blanc presents itself like sunshine in a glass and exudes beguiling aromas of tropical passion fruit, green apple and fragrant pears. With wonderful nuances of tropical kiwi, green melon and tangy grapefruit on the palate, it opens a wonderful freshness with a pleasantly natural play of acids. An unpretentious wine that delivers intense flavours with a round and pleasantly long finish.

The grapes for this Chenin Blanc were harvested by hand, crushed and sometimes left on the skin overnight. The juice was left to rest cold until it had a wonderfully brilliant clarity, after which selected yeast cultures were added. The fermentation temperature was kept at a constant 12 - 14°C to ensure slow fermentation, which in turn transferred a wonderful fruitiness to the wine.
