Information about "David Finlayson Camino Africana Chenin Blanc 2023"

Produced from some of the oldest Chenin Blanc vines in South Africa, the David Finlayson Camino Africana Chenin Blanc 2023 stands as a highly esteemed representation. Crafted with minimal intervention, it allows the authentic terroir aromas of these ancient vines to shine through. On the nose, it reveals enticing stone fruit notes, notably green gage plum, complemented by pronounced minerality. The wine’s gentle, lanolin-like texture and subtle saline note on the palate reflect decades of vine evolution in the soil. An exquisite showcase of South African winemaking!

Treatment in the cellar The grapes for this highly acclaimed Chenin Blanc come from two vineyards planted in 1960. The Chenin Blanc berries were harvested by hand and pressed whole bunch. Fermentation took place for 12 months with natural yeasts in older French oak barrels. The wine matured on the lees for a further 12 months before being bottled for enjoyment. The wine was produced with an absolute minimum of intervention so that the old vines could express the true aromas of the site and the variety with as little human intervention as possible.
