SURVIVOR TERROIR CHENIN BLANC – 6 x 750ml

The Chenin Blanc offers a captivating complexity, revealing an array of aromas that encompass melon, golden delicious apple, and delicate peach blossom notes. This wine achieves a harmonious equilibrium between the vibrant fruit essence and nuanced oak undertones. On the palate, it presents as medium-bodied, boasting a lusciously juicy mid-palate that culminates in a refreshing burst of lively acidity, creating a captivating finish.

The grapes were harvested between 22° and 23.5° Balling and picking was done in the early morning to ensure that the grapes arrived cool at the cellar and pressed immediately. The free run and light press juice was separated from the rest. 60% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks. After inoculation, the fermentation temperature was kept at around 12°C for 3 weeks. 40% of the Chenin blanc underwent barrel fermentation in 10% new, 30% 2nd fill, 40% 3rd fill and 20% 4th fill 400 litre French Oak barrels. The wine was matured in barrel for 8 months before being blended and bottled.

Grapes come from a selected low-yielding vineyard block located on a Swartland farm, with soils of deep red Oakleaf and Hutton, which boast above-average water-holding capacity. These soils contribute to adding depth, structure, and fullness to the wines, while the vines benefit from the cooling sea breezes of the Benguela current.
