False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc
Grape Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Vegan.
The grapes for False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc stem from old bush vines in the famed Swartland and Stellenbosch regions. Slow Chenin Blanc is not fermented with fast-acting, or 'aroma-enhancing’ commercially selected yeast. The grapes do not take three weeks to get from vineyard to bottle. It is crafted the wild way – old vine fruit, fermented with wild yeast found naturally on the grapes…not in a packet. This magical transformation takes at least six months.
Tasting Note: Dried herbaceous notes, including fennel and aniseed, dominate the nose, followed by a creamy lemon character and rich, textural finish.
