Information about "Opstal Chenin Blanc 2024"
The Opstal Chenin Blanc captivates with its intriguing interplay of invigorating freshness and layered complexity. Alluring aromas of ripe pear, pineapple, and lively citrus beautifully meld with delicate spices, a touch of thyme, and a delightful yeast hint. This exceptional Chenin, derived from Opstal's finest grapes, reveals the remarkable terroir-driven minerality from diverse vineyards.
The grapes were fully destemmed, crushed, and pressed after eight hours of skin contact. Fermentation occurred spontaneously, with 75% in large French oak barrels and 25% in stainless steel tanks. After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, the wine matured for eight months on its lees before blending and bottling.
