Product information "De Trafford Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc 2021"
Of gorgeous yellow hue in the glass, the De Trafford Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc opens the pleasure with an immensely complex bouquet. The nose sniffs out aromas of seductive honey, peach pit, salted butter and nuts. Fermentation on the skins brings out the full expression of the multi-faceted flavors of this remarkable varietal. The generous and full-bodied palate indulges with a lush fruit intensity and is perfectly balanced by the fine tannin structure and subtle notes of oak. On the finish, this remarkable drop ends long, complex and pleasantly dry.

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, completely destemmed and crushed upon arrival at the winery, and fermented for one week in open stainless steel tanks with regular immersion of the marc. Fermentation was spontaneous; "spontaneous" in this context means that no commercial yeasts were added to the juice; only the wild yeast naturally occurring on the fruit and in the environment set the fermentation in motion. Apart from a small amount of SO2, no additives were added to the wine. Shortly before the fermentation was completed, the wine was pressed and put into oak barrels, where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation were completed. Finally, the wine was bottled unfiltered by hand.
