Information about "Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment 2024"
With its vibrant straw color and fresh green highlights, the Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment enchants the senses. The nose presents a bouquet of luscious stone fruits, hints of orange zest, and sweet clover. On the palate, this Chenin Blanc reveals itself with graceful restraint, balancing velvety tannins, ripe fruit, and citrus peel, leading to a long and pleasing finish. This wine is meticulously crafted from the oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard (39 years old) at Delheim, certified by the Old Vine Association, showcasing the best of its heritage, minimalist vinification, and the beauty of nature!
The grapes for this Chenin Blanc were hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. Naturally occurring wild yeast initiated fermentation. The wine matured 'sur lie' for seven months and underwent aging in French oak barrels for another nine months.
