Information about "Illimis Chenin Blanc 2023"

The Illimis Chenin Blanc 2023 immerses you in a captivating aroma profile featuring luscious white peach, Fynbos, lemongrass, and cardamom. The palate reveals delightful notes of buttered toast accompanied by orange marmalade and a nuance of lime. A vibrant mineral backbone supports a graceful finish with a touch of salinity, resulting in a memorable experience. Concentrated yet elegantly reserved.

These grapes are selected from two prime regions: one in Stellenbosch and another in Elgin. The cooler climate of Elgin allows for a prolonged ripening phase, enhancing the crisp acidity and flavor depth, while the Stellenbosch grapes add character and bright aromas.
Treatment in the cellar

Wie bei allen Illimis Weinen folgt auch der Ausbau des Chenin Blancs einen minimalistischen Ansatz: Das Traubengut wurde größtenteils am ganzen Bund gepresst, die Gärung erfolgte auf natürliche Weise, und der Wein reifte für 7 Monate in alten, neutralen Eichenfässern auf der Hefe.
