mehrere Informationen

Rijks Chenin Blanc Reserve pleases the eye with a rich golden colour in the glass and spoils with an attractive and complex bouquet of ripe melon, tangy grapefruit and fine aromas of sweet honey. These fruit aromas combine perfectly with spicy wood notes and give it a beautiful structure on the full, creamy palate. When full-bodied, it presents an exotic, sweet and sour aftertaste. Elegance, finesse and complexity characterize this first-class Chenin! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grape material was harvested and pressed with great care. The juice fermented 50% in new oak barrels, 30% in second and 20% in third French and Hungarian 600 litre oak barrels. The wine fermented naturally and after 14 months of maturation, the wine was blended and bottled.
