Product information "Keermont Riverside Chenin Blanc 2018"
The Keermont Riverside Chenin Blanc flows into the glass from a delicate golden yellow colour and exudes a dreamlike bouquet of fragrant citrus blossoms, fine hazelnut, lemon grass and fresh spring flowers. The attack on the palate is tight and focused and pampers with delicious nuances of ripe peaches, fresh lime and a hint of marzipan. Its lively acidity gives a long and clearly textured finish that lingers pleasantly and lingers on the palate.
The vineyards of the Riverside Chenin Blancs were planted in 1971 and are among the oldest vineyards of Keermont. Along the banks of the upper Blaauwklippen River, the soil here is composed of alluvial plains with river rocks and red clay. This old and mature vineyard is situated at an altitude of 250m and produces stunning grapes of the highest quality year after year.

The hand-picked grapes for this fantastically fragrant Chenin Blanc come 100% from Keermont's own vineyards along the river bank and were vinified separately depending on the block of grapes and degree of ripeness. The fermentation process took place in a natural, traditional and particularly careful way in open fermenters. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 12 months on the lees in French barriques and was then bottled unfiltered by hand.
