Information about "Afrikaans Vol. VII Chenin Blanc Chardonnay 2024"
The Afrikaans Vol. VII Chenin Blanc Chardonnay captivates with an aromatic and fruit-driven bouquet, where citrus fruits, peach, and pineapple unite harmoniously with subtle notes of baked apple crumble and vanilla. On the palate, a rich fruit profile unfolds, accompanied by a fine acidity that imparts a smooth and rounded mouthfeel.
The Afrikaans wine series celebrates the diverse culture, language, and terroir of South Africa. Crafted with dedication and precision, each wine in the Afrikaans range reflects the rich landscapes and traditions of the nation. The collection features both a red and white cuvée, meticulously designed to highlight the distinct characteristics of South Africa's terroirs. Bottled in limited editions, these wines ensure exclusivity and a personal touch. Each vintage is accompanied by a poem on the label, adding a literary element and honoring the poetic heritage of the Afrikaans language.
The grapes for this wine hail from Devon Valley and Polkadraai in Stellenbosch. The cooling sea breezes along the coast help preserve the natural acidity, while the warm climate of the region enriches the fruit aromas and fragrant nuances.
The Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay grapes were pressed whole and then fermented slowly and coolly in new and used oak barrels. The wine matured on its fine lees for six months to refine texture. An 18% portion of new oak contributed to the wine's richness and mouthfeel.
