2020 First Light Chenin Blanc
CHENIN BLANC
VINEYARDS: Cool. Southerly aspects, combined with fresh maritime breezes provide ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The vineyards are all planted on decomposed granite and table mountain sandstone soils.
CELLAR: Fermentation is allowed to proceed uninoculated in stainless steel tanks. After spending seven months on the fine lees the wine is racked and bottled.
TASTING NOTES: Oranges, lemons and passion fruit. Floral violets and honeysuckle. Bright juicy citrus fruit with a limey acid bringing freshness. A mild salinity on the finish gives great length.

Each component is then matured separately in barrel for one year before blending and maturation for another year in barrel, 30% new french oak. Unfined and unfiltered.
