The Stellenrust 54 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc is incredibly complex and structurally demanding with aromas of tropical fruits, quince, pear and yeasty brioche. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, creamy and perfectly balanced. Caramel and honey notes accompany a long and satisfying finish.
The grapes for Stellenrust 54 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc come from 54-year-old Chenin Blanc vines, which grow on the hills of the Bottelary Hills, part of South Africa's oldest wine route.

The juice of the grapes was left to rest for several days without the addition of enzymes. Then the juice was transferred to a special selection of barrels and left to ferment naturally. The fermentation lasted for 8 months, after which the wine was left in the lees for another month. The wine matured for 9 months in oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% Hungarian oak).
