REYNEKE BIODYNAMIC CHENIN BLANC
$53.00
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The oldest vineyards on the Reyneke farm are two blocks of Chenin blanc from 1974 and 1976 respectively. These vineyards are registered with South Africa’s Old Vine Project (OVP).
The grapes were whole bunch pressed and lightly settled. Spontaneous fermentation occurred in a combination of seasoned 300L French oak & 2500L foudrés. After 10 months of maturation on the gross lees, the wine was racked from their vessels and readied for bottling, which takes place early January. A light dose of sulphur was added at racking, prior to bottling.
