Product information "Leeuwenkuil Reserve White 2018"
Leeuwenkuil Reserve White is a stunning and highly endowed cuvée of eight different grape varieties, blended from the best barrels of the vintage. Only the crème de la crème made it into the selection for this first-class blend. The seductive bouquet of fragrant white flowers and fresh apples as well as a hint of pepper ensnares the nose. The palate is caressed by absolutely delicious nuances of ripe peaches and tangy pineapple, which are underlined by a subtle chalky minerality and end in a pleasantly long-lasting finish.

Das handgelesene Traubengut wurde am ganzen Bund gepresst, um den natürlichen Säuregehalt soweit wie möglich zu bewahren. Die Hälfte des dabei gewonnenen Safts wurde in französischen Eichenfässern mit einer Füllmenge von 5000 l pro Fass fermentiert, während die anderen 50% in Tanks aus Edelstahl ausgebaut wurden. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 9 Monate lang in französischer Eiche, bevor er verschnitten und zum fertigen Genuss auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
