DeMorgenzon DMZ Chenin Blanc

Learn More About This Wine

The bouquet is bright and tropical, which carries through onto the palate, showing passion fruit, ripe lemon and ripe apple notes. This wine has a great texture with a zesty finish. 

Sourced exclusively from DeMorgenzon’s own Chenin Blanc vineyards. Southerly and South-Easterly aspect vines overlooking False Bay are managed for optimal exposure to gentle morning sunshine. Granitic soils result in grapes with excellent natural acidity and flavour concentration, a trait further enhanced by intentionally low yields. 

Cool, early morning harvested grapes were destemmed, crushed, then pressed and the juice settled until clear. Fermentation occurred spontaneously without the addition of commercial yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and old French oak barrels (4-6 months ageing on lees). The resulting wines were racked and sulphured prior to blending and the final blend left on fine yeast lees for maturation until bottling.
