mehrere Informationen

The Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc has a delicate brilliant straw colour that captures and reflects light like a cut crystal. Complex aromas of nectarine and peach and well-integrated nuances of roasted oak emanate from the glass. It pampers the palate with a rich and creamy richness and a silky mouthfeel. Notes of roasted cashew nut and vanilla bean enchant the senses; soft and full-bodied, yet incredibly elegant, with an almost everlasting finish. This wine was produced in an extremely limited quantity and only a few will ever enjoy this noble drop. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc were sorted by hand in the vineyard and pressed all over the bunch. The wine fermented with a selection of wild yeasts and cultured yeasts in the barrel. After fermentation, the wine matured on the yeast before being bottled for enjoyment.
