Information about "Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc spoils with a delicious aroma profile of fine tropical fruit - a hint of pineapple, fresh grapefruit and ripe guava ensnares the senses, subtly underpinned by fine oak spice. An exciting Chenin Blanc with a full body and a wonderfully creamy balance.

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.
