Firth Post – Chenin Blanc 2024
R169.00
100% Chenin Blanc
This Chenin is a medley of tropical fruit with underlying hints of vanilla and almond. It is a beautifully balanced wine with layers of complexity as the oak component builds the roundness of the wine. Good for drinking now but will continue to evolve with a bit of aging.
The Chenin grapes ripened very early given that they are from old vines. Grown in the Piekenierskloof, they developed optimal flavour retaining natural acidity. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and left to settle at 14°C. It was then racked and left to warm up slightly for yeast inoculation. Fermented at low temperature in barrel and left on fine less for mouthfeel and flavour development.
