Information about "Stellenrust 59 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Stellenrust 60 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2024 is distinguished by its striking complexity, revealing a captivating aroma of apricot, peach, and tropical pineapple, alongside delicate hints of yeasty brioche. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied yet harmonious experience, presenting a creamy mouthfeel enhanced by lasting caramel and honey notes, leading to a deeply satisfying finish.
Crafted from 60-year-old Chenin Blanc vines rooted in the prestigious Bottelary Hills, a celebrated area of South Africa's oldest wine route, this wine reflects its exceptional terroir.
The grape juice was allowed to rest for several days without enzyme additions before being transferred into select barrels, where natural fermentation commenced. This process lasted eight months, followed by an additional month of sur lie aging. The wine matured for nine months in oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% Hungarian oak).
