Product information "Avondale Anima Chenin Blanc BIO 2017"
The Avondale Anima Chenin Blanc smells in the glass of fresh winter melon, tropical pineapple, tangy lime and a hint of delicate honey - aromas that bear witness to the uncommon elegance and full-bodied opulence of this softly wooded Chenin. On the palate, this first-class wine is dense with fresh fruit nuances of gooseberry, quince and peach, which are in perfect harmony with the soulful minerality that gives the wine its name.

The hand-picked, organically grown grapes were pressed all over the bunch, after which the juice fermented naturally in French oak barrels with a capacity of 500 litres per barrel. 15-20% of the grapes fermented in amphorae, which gives the wine a grandiose fullness and beautiful length. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured on the yeast for 12 months and was regularly stirred (batonnage) in order to obtain more body and complexity in the wine.
