Description

Miles Mossop Chapter Three 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc from a single 41-year-old bush vine vineyard in the Stellenbosch, South Africa, growing on slate soils

Taste Profile: This wine has a brilliant deep straw colour. One the nose floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle are evident with hints of peach, citrus and a faint toastiness. The palate is full and rich packed with yellow fruits, a grippy mid-palate leads to a textured finish of toasted almonds and a pithy citrus flavours.

Winemaking Process: The fruit was harvested & cooled before being whole bunch pressed & transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation. 16% of the barrels used for fermentation were new oak barrels. The fermentation is allowed to start naturally and once completed the wine was topped and matured sur-lie for 10 months with regular lees stirring before bottling

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
