Information about "David Finlayson Camino Africana Chenin Blanc 2023"
From South Africa's oldest Chenin vines, this highly endowed Stellenbosch Chenin is straw yellow in colour and exudes lush, yeasty aromas with concentrated hints of apricot, peach and freshly baked apple pie with vanilla. On the palate, incredibly rich and fat with a lush, full texture and a well-integrated acidity, this fresh drop with a polished citrus note on the finish will finish long after the last sip.

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.
