Information about "Botanica Mary Delany Collection Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Botanica Mary Delany Collection Chenin Blanc 2023 exemplifies the pinnacle of South African Chenins. On the palate, it delivers a rich and fruit-driven experience, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Its broad and structured profile offers a beautifully rounded finish, revealing silky elegance, alongside complex layers of ripe peaches, baked Braeburn apples, hay, and subtle oak notes. This esteemed Cape Chenin shines with impressive smoothness and elegance, establishing it as a true icon.
Virginia Povall, the owner and winemaker, has consciously chosen natural cork closures to reduce resource consumption and waste production. By eliminating capsule use, she takes a significant step towards sustainability and effectively optimizes our environmental impact while responsibly utilizing natural resources.
The grapes for this first-class, highly acclaimed Chenin Blanc from the Citrusdal Mountains were hand-harvested, destemmed, and lightly crushed, with fermentation occurring in 50% previously used oak barrels and 50% in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After nine months in older oak, it results in a wine of quiet complexity and significant structure.
