Information about "Catherine Marshall FAC Chenin Blanc Fermented in Clay 2024"
The Catherine Marshall Fine Arts Chenin Blanc is crafted through a meticulous process, featuring fermentation in traditional clay amphorae. This wine offers a distinctive aroma profile that combines white pear, luscious nectarine, delicate almond paste, baked apple, and a touch of spicy cardamom. Its palate is well-structured, echoing the enticing notes found on the nose while adding layers of white flowers and wet stone, leading to a refreshing and vibrant finish.
The hand-harvested grapes were meticulously selected, lightly crushed, and pressed. The resulting juice rested in steel tanks at a controlled 12˚C before being transferred to clay amphorae for natural fermentation. After fermenting, 500 liters were aged in selective oak barrels for 11 months, with some undergoing malolactic fermentation, while the amphorae wines maintained a fresher, more mineral character. After aging, all wines were blended and bottled for optimal enjoyment.
