Product information "Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc is a stunning Chenin of great concentration and delicious nuances of fresh citrus and crisp green apples, coupled with a subtle hint of fragrant oak spice and subtle fennel tones. Refined freshness as well as an excellently integrated acid play complete the highly endowed pleasure. A profound wine with a long-lasting finish and silvery class.

The grape material for this award-winning Chenin Blanc fermented "spontaneously" in so-called concrete eggs. Spontaneously fermented means that the fermentation was set in motion without the addition of commercial yeasts. Only "wild" yeast, present in the natural environment and on the fruit, initiated the fermentation process. 10% of the wine was aged in wood.
