Product information "Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2025"

The Small Zalze Family Reserve Chenin Blanc has an enticing aroma of fine citrus fruit, fragrant quince and green melon. The palate reveals delicious nuances of pear and sweet clover with an elegant fruit expression and well-integrated notes of oak. His incredibly creamy mouthfeel as well as his fresh mineral finish prepare a true pleasure experience. The grapes for this highly endowed wine come from three different sites in Stellenbosch, which contributes significantly to the wonderfully lush complexity of this wine. A truly masterful wine!

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this first-class Chenin Blanc were harvested by hand at different stages of ripeness and gently pressed. The juice spent 12-18 hours on the skin before being transferred to stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. The juice was then transferred to 400 l French oak barrels, where fermentation was completed. No new wood was used, but only barrels filled with two, three and four barrels were used so as not to cover the delicate Chenin fruit. Finally, the wine spent another 8 months in the cask before the different Chenin barrels were blended. The wine was neither refined nor filtered before bottling.
