Information about "Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023 captivates with a delightful bouquet of tropical fruit, featuring subtle notes of pineapple, vibrant grapefruit, and ripe guava that awaken the senses. This mesmerizing Chenin Blanc presents a rich body and a luxuriously creamy texture, complemented by delicate oak spices. The meticulous oak aging not only enhances its flavor but also adds layers of complexity, making it a compelling expression of the varietal.
Treatment in the cellar
In 2023 the fruit was crushed and destalked prior to ±4 hours of skin contact.
After a light pressing in pneumatic bag presses the juice was settled overnight
before being racked to barrels. MLF was prevented to retain freshness. After
natural fermentation the wine remained in barrel for 10 months with regular
batonage (stirring of lees). 40% of the barrels were new French oak and the
balance 2nd and 3rd fill. Finally, after stabilization, the wine was bottled in
December.
