Product information "City on a Hill White 2019"
Of delicate wheat gold, Delaire Graff Chenin Blanc Swartland Reserve is presented in the glass and pampers the palate with multi-layered nuances of citrus and tropical fruit, paired with subtle layers of fine honey tones and almonds in the background. Well-balanced and excellently structured, these delicious and seductive nuances of taste are accompanied by a pleasant minerality. A wonderfully rounded and subtly woody Chenin Blanc through the use of French oak.

After extensive sorting of the grapes, the grapes were pressed all over the bunch and fermented in the barrel for 14 days without the addition of sulphur. The wine then matured for 10 months in French oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation took place, nor was the wine stirred on the yeast (batonnage) to guarantee maximum freshness.
