Information about "Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2024 is a notable wine, lauded for its refined elegance. Its bouquet evolves from initial subtlety to delicate aromas of winter melon, prickly pear, and warm hay. As it develops further, hints of ginger, honeycomb, and warm baking spices emerge, contributing to complexity. On the palate, the wine is rich and opulent, featuring a silky texture that carries notes of pickled ginger, poached pear, warm honey, and sweet spices. The balance is flawless, leading to a long-lasting finish where elegant marmalade and citrus notes impart freshness, complexity, and finesse.
The grapes for this exceptional Chenin Blanc were hand-picked in the early morning, then naturally fermented in French oak barrels at controlled temperatures of 13 – 14°C. Spontaneous fermentation utilized only the indigenous yeasts present on the fruit and in the environment. This barrel fermentation lasted between 40 and 60 days. After alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine aged for 10 months in French barriques, with one-third new wood, one-third second-use wood, and one-third third-use wood. Regularly stirred yeast (batonnage) ensured a fuller, richer mouthfeel.
