Information about "Stellenrust 61 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2025"
The Stellenrust 60 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc is an exceptionally complex wine, showcasing an intricate structure with alluring aromas of apricot, peach, pineapple, and a hint of yeasty brioche. On the palate, it reveals a rich and harmonious body, creamy in texture and perfectly balanced. Notes of caramel and honey linger, leading to a satisfying, long-lasting finish.
Crafted from 60-year-old Chenin Blanc vines flourishing on the Bottelary Hills, part of South Africa's oldest wine route, this wine embodies the essence of its terroir and reflects the utmost care and passion in its production.
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).
