Survivor Chenin Blanc “Reserve” 2021
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc from Swartland, South Africa
Grapes were sourced from low yielding 15-year-old bush vines located between Malmesbury and Darling in the Swartland. The soils are decomposed granite ensuring the roots to penetrate deep in search for water - this is detrimental for dryland farmed vineyards and is characterised by producing wines which shows great vibrancy and minerality
Taste Profile: Lemon to light gold in color, it has an expressive nose of baked apple, quince and yellow peach framed by citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Subtle tones of vanilla, toast and baking spice from barrel maturation mingle with honey, lanolin and a gentle floral note, giving a rounded, complex aromatic profile.
On the palate the wine is dry with medium plus body and refreshing, well-balanced acidity that keeps the ripe fruit from feeling heavy
Winemaking Process: Hand harvested at optimal ripeness when the grapes were at 23° Balling. Picking was done in the early morning hours to ensure the grapes arrived cool at the cellar. The bunches were crushed, destemmed and then gently pressed and the juice settled over-night.
60% of this wine was natural fermented in new 400-litre French oak barrels and the rest was inoculated with yeast in second and third fill 400-litre French oak barrels. Wine was barrel matured for 11 months before it was blended and bottled.
