The Avondale Qvevri Chenin Blanc is a very special wine. For one year it fermented and matured in Georgian clay pots and developed an unmistakably mineral bouquet with fine earthiness and clear fruit. Its elegant tannin structure underlines the attractive minerality as well as the lively acidity of the wine. Seductive nuances of ripe stone fruit, fragrant pears, fresh lime and fine spices caress the palate. Full and opulent on the palate with a juicy character, the fruity side of this Chenin is fully expressed. In combination with the fine earthiness and the pleasant minerality, this drop brings pleasure all along the line!

The grape material was pressed all over the bunch and the juice obtained was fermented on the primary yeast in 8000 year old clay vessels from Georgia, so-called Qvevris. 30% of the grape material was destemmed and fermented spontaneously on natural meadow for 3 months on the skin. Then these 30% were pressed and transferred to the Qvevris, where the wine continued to mature. After about a year in Qvevris, the wines were blended and bottled.
