With a delicate straw-coloured hue in the glass, the Sarah Raal Chenin Blanc spioenkop exudes clean and complex aromas of clear and pure fruit - yellow apples, peaches and fine notes of yeast as well as a hint of fragrant flowers, fresh herbs and spices pamper the nose. The palate presents a wonderful complexity of dense fruit nuances with a well-balanced acidity and an intense middle. Fresh, crisp and elegant, this Chenin presents itself with impressive depth!

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes for this Chenin Blanc were transported from the vineyard in small baskets to the winery and cooled down to 10°C overnight. The next morning it was completely destemmed and lightly crushed. After four hours of juice extraction and contact on the skin, the skins were slowly pressed in the stainless steel press. After fermentation, the wine matured for 9 months on the fine lees and an additional 3 months in previously occupied French barriques.
