Naude Family Wines Chenin Blanc 2020
Vineyards
Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2020, is Ian’s first Chenin Blanc produced entirely from a single vineyard. 2020 vintage is from a Agter-Paardeberg vineyard.
Winemaking and Maturation
This wine was made with minimal interference, no additions barring some sulphites, and has the potential to age for 30+ years.
Whole bunch pressed, the juice underwent natural fermentation in older oak barrels where it was kept on the lees for 6 months.
Tasting Notes
The resulting wine is wonderfully balanced and bristles with energy and vivacity by the fine line of acidity. True to its origins, it is understated and classical with a fine linear textural focus that builds in the mouth to reveal layers of pineapple pastille fruits, morning dew on fresh bales of hay, crunchy green apples and a stony minerality on the finish.
A truly versatile wine for all cuisines and every occasion.
