Information about "Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Chenin Blanc 2023 embodies the historic méthode ancestrale in sparkling wine production, capturing the essence of Chenin Blanc. This wine offers a fragrant profile of luscious apples and pears with a twist of citrus zest. Its lightly sweet entry harmonizes beautifully with a vibrant acidity, culminating in a revitalizing finish. Due to its unfiltered nature, sediment may be noticeable; some wine lovers choose to decant, while others may prefer to gently agitate the bottle. A genuine treat for those who appreciate sparkling wines!
The grapes are pressed whole, without enzymes or sulfites. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and once the sugar levels drop, it is bottled during primary fermentation, capturing the carbon dioxide inside for delightful bubbles. Post-bottling, it rests on the lees for about 12 months, allowing natural development with possible fine sediment.
