RUDERA
CHENIN BLANC
2004
|
|
These old, fully mature, Chenin Blanc bush vines are planted on broken shale on a prime cool slope in the Stellenbosch region. Canopy management of the vines ensured natural high acidity and full flavour concentration.
Only natural yeast was used in making this wine, using the indigenous microflora on the grapes. Fermentation took place in 2nd/3rd fill French barriques and matured in barrel for eight months on the lees; thereafter it was racked, lightly filtered and bottled without being stabilized.
Clear and bright gold with a green tinge. The citrus start with lime develops in the mouth to grapefruit. Quince and apple flavours add to the complexity with the wood so well integrated that only a hint of vanilla is evident. A rich concentrated mouth-feel, flowery mid-palate, and layers of glorious tropical fruit culminate in a long, complex, lingering finish.
