Information about "Bosman Optenhorst Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Bosman Optenhorst Chenin Blanc 2024 displays a soft straw hue with golden highlights. This remarkable wine enchants the palate with its enticing aroma of ripe apricots, nectarines, poached pear, delicate vanilla notes, and nutty almond brittle. An understated, creamy mouthfeel culminates in a vibrant and mineral finish, perfectly rounding off this tasting experience. The thoughtful oak aging imparts a silky texture, balanced by the lively salinity derived from the portion aged in concrete eggs.
This wine is produced from the third-oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard in South Africa, with vines dating back to 1952.
The grapes for this esteemed Chenin were whole-bunch pressed, allowing the juice to rest overnight. The clear juice was then racked into French Louis Latour oak barrels of 228 liters for fermentation. Following the alcoholic fermentation, the wine aged for 12 months with regular stirring of the lees, enhancing mouthfeel and complexity.
