Product information "Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment 2015"
With a fresh straw tint in the glass, Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment releases summery, fresh aromas of stone fruit and lemon blossom. On the palate it is rich and complex with notes of apple, apricot and gooseberry oak. A hint of fine minerality rounds off the whole and skilfully complements the fresh and pleasantly resonant finish of the wine.

The grapes for this Chenin Blanc were hand picked, destemmed and only gently pressed. Part of the grapes were taken directly from the press, while the other part was left to rest overnight. A spontaneous fermentation followed, i.e. no yeast was added for fermentation, only naturally occurring wild yeast started the fermentation. One part of the wine fermented in the tank and was left on the lees for 6 months, while the other part fermented in a combination of 225 l and 500 l barrels of French oak, where it was allowed to mature for another 7 months after fermentation was completed, before the wines were blended and bottled coarsely filtered.
