Chateau Tasting Notes
HAZY VIEW CHENIN BLANC, SOUTH AFRICA
This wine is bottled especially for us, and is made from a selection of high quality grapes grown in South Africa's Western Cape. Great attention is paid in the vineyard to ensure the best quality grapes, with particular attention paid to the age of the vines and their yields.
HAZY VIEW CHENIN BLANC
Grapes: 100% Chenin Blanc
Vinification: The grapes were not crushed but left in contact with skins for 6 hours at 6C. Following this crushing took place and fermentation was carried out in stainless
steel tanks at 16C until dry. No malolactic fermentation or barrel ageing took place. The wine was fined with Bentonite and cold stabilised at 4C before being bottle.
Serve: Chilled at 10-12C as an aperitif or with white meats, salads and a cold buffet.
Taste: Appealing medium straw colour, star bright and clean. The nose is fresh and aromatic with forthcoming peachy flavours. Crisp acidity on the palate. Finishes
on a long fruity note.
