Information about "Stellenrust 60 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Stellenrust 60 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024 offers an exquisite complexity, featuring an aromatic profile of apricot, peach, and tropical pineapple, intertwined with subtle yeasty brioche notes. On the palate, it exhibits a remarkable fullness and balance, revealing a creamy texture complemented by lingering caramel and honey characters, culminating in a satisfying, prolonged finish.
Sourced from venerable 60-year-old Chenin Blanc vines thriving on the Bottelary Hills, a prestigious area renowned in South Africa's oldest wine route, this wine embodies the essence of its terroir.
The grape juice was allowed to rest for several days without enzyme additions before being transferred into select barrels, where natural fermentation commenced. This process lasted eight months, followed by an additional month of sur lie aging. The wine matured for nine months in oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% Hungarian oak).
