Information about "Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023"
The Villiera Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2023 enchants with its enticing aromatic profile, featuring tropical fruits such as hints of pineapple, lively grapefruit, and ripe guava. This rich Chenin Blanc displays a full-bodied essence with a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel, enhanced by subtle oak spices. With careful barrel fermentation and aging, it gains added complexity that beautifully expresses the varietal's character.
Treatment in the cellar
In 2023 the fruit was crushed and destalked prior to ±4 hours of skin contact.
After a light pressing in pneumatic bag presses the juice was settled overnight
before being racked to barrels. MLF was prevented to retain freshness. After
natural fermentation the wine remained in barrel for 10 months with regular
batonage (stirring of lees). 40% of the barrels were new French oak and the
balance 2nd and 3rd fill. Finally, after stabilization, the wine was bottled in
December.
