DeMorgenzon Reserve Chenin Blanc

Learn More About This Wine

Vineyard: From low-yielding vines planted in 1972, which were originally planted as bush vines but recently lifted onto trellises. The vines are planted in decomposed granite soils, at altitudes of 250 to 300 meters above sea level. Close proximity to False Bay ensures cooling breezes in the warm summer months.

Vinification: Fermentation occurred naturally in French oak barrels (20% new), using indigenous yeasts, with about 20% of the volume completing malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged on its lees in barrel for 10 months, without batonnage.

Made by Cellar Master Adam Mason (no relation) this show stopping white shows stone fruit, honey and some spice with a brilliant balance between fuller body and mouth-watering acidity.
