Information about "Leeuwenkuil Reserve Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Leeuwenkuil Reserve Chenin Blanc 2024 is a stunning embodiment of the Swartland region’s terroir. This prestigious blend is crafted from three carefully selected Chenin Blanc parcels, showcasing only the best barrels of the vintage. Aromas of citrus blossoms, quince, and yellow apple greet the nose, leading to a complex palate featuring luscious stone fruit and a faintly core-like texture. The finish is marked by a refreshing mineral essence, defining the wine's sophistication and character.
The hand-harvested grapes were whole-bunch pressed to preserve natural acidity. Half of the juice was fermented in 5000L French oak barrels, while the remainder was vinified in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the wine matured in French oak for nine months before blending and bottling.
