The Old Road Stone Trail Chenin Blanc comes up trumps with concentrated yet fresh nuances of white pears, fragrant quince and gooseberry, followed by floral notes of fine almond blossoms that fade into a long-lasting and well-balanced finish. The immense depth of flavor forms the essence of Stone Trail Chenin Blanc, which together with a fresh and focused acidity and a subtle earthy minerality provide unforgettable pleasure. A ripe and full-bodied drop made from grapes grown on a single vineyard site.

The grapes were sourced from certified historic vineyards and were hand harvested at optimal ripeness, crushed and the juice left on the skins overnight before being racked to barrels for fermentation. Once fermentation was complete, the wine underwent nine months of barrel aging in mostly older French oak barrels to give it depth and persistence without compromising the natural fruit character. Aging on primary lees with regular agitation (batonnage) provided further complexity and expressiveness.
