Description
Naudé White Blend 2010
39% Chenin Blanc , 31% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc from Stellenbosch, South Africa
Taste Profile: This beautiful Naudé White Blend shows tropical fruit intensity from Chenin Blanc and ends in a lingering citrus finish, contributed by the Sauvignon Blanc, while the Semillon provides structure to complete the blend. Already in the bottle for over 10 years, this wine still shows remarkable freshness and acidity, and will still be in great shape up to 2030.
The White Blend was made to be a true South African style, unlike any other worldwide.
Winemaking Process: Ripening and picking differ year on year. Each vineyard was fermented individually, then leave it on the lees as long as possible. Part of the Chenin Blanc and Semillon gets fermented in French Oak Barrels to give it depth through the middle palate. All the wines are left one lees for as long as possible because this is where the personality of the vineyard shows.
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
