Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chenin Blanc
Classy Chenin. Just off-dry. Tropical fruit with a lovely texture and weight.
A rich Chenin with a gently tropical nose of honeysuckle, guava and pineapple with fresh green apple and quince. The palate is dry yet shows rich with tropical fruits and subtle oak. The acidity keeps it all fresh and balanced.
Layers of naartjíes, apricots and cling peaches with hints of flint and fynbos. Delicate oak flavours finishes the wine beautifully. This wine can be enjoyed now, but with careful cellaring it should age gracefully over the next 10 years.

The Vineyard
The grapes were handpicked early in the morning and immediately crushed into holding tanks. We gave extended (24hours) skin contact to extract all the Chenin flavours to ensure good structure in the final wine. Only the free run juice was used and settled for 1 day before inoculation with selected yeast strains. The juice was racked into barrels for fermentation. No new barrels were used to ensure that unique characters of the specific terroirs were preserved in the wine. After fermentation the wine was aged on the primary lees for another 6 months before being racked out and prepared for bottling.
