With an attractive and delicate yellow hue in the glass, De Trafford Chenin Blanc has heavenly aromas of dewy fresh apricots and ripe melon as well as subtle hints of lemon, honey and floral notes. On the palate this highly endowed drop presents itself soft and elegantly textured with complex taste nuances and pleasant fullness. In the finish it pampers with stunning length and creaminess.

The grapes for this elegant and complex Chenin Blanc were lightly crushed and subjected to a three-hour contact phase on the skin before being gently pressed in the traditional basket press. The resulting juice was sulphited and left to rest for 2 days before being 100% vinified in French oak barrels and aged for 9 months. During the ageing process, the yeast was regularly stirred to obtain a fuller mouthfeel and perfect concentration in the wine. 15% of the barrels were made of new wood, while the remaining part of the barrels was made of previously laid down wood. After ageing, the wine was lightly refined with natural bentonite clay and bottled by hand, unfiltered.
