Information about "Radford Dale The Renaissance of Chenin Blanc 2022"
The Radford Dale The Renaissance of Chenin Blanc 2022 captivates with its lively freshness and refined elegance. An enticing array of citrus aromas, highlighted by notes of lemon, grapefruit, and subtle orange blossom, enchants both the nose and palate. This complex flavor profile is seamlessly complemented by vibrant, refreshing acidity, enhancing its dynamic character.
Chenin Blanc, often underestimated, is rapidly gaining recognition for its immense potential to yield world-class wines. Celebrated as South Africa’s finest grape, it showcases a rich tapestry of complexity. A new wave of producers is rising in the Cape, crafting exceptional, intricate, and distinctive mineral wines that resonate with enthusiasts who seek authentic character and refined finesse.
The Chenin grapes were whole-bunch pressed and underwent a two-day resting phase before being transferred to barrels. Fermentation occurred naturally with indigenous yeast, lasting between eight to ten weeks. Malolactic fermentation was inhibited through controlled cool fermentation temperatures. The wine aged in barrel for nine months on fine lees, followed by an additional month of rest after blending, before bottling. The second-, third-, and fourth-fill barrels used for this wine were sourced from artisanal cooperages in Burgundy, employing Allier and Vosges oak.
