Chenin Blanc Maritime 2022 - Metzer

The grapes for this “old vine” Chenin Blanc come from a vineyard planted with bush vines in 1981, which is just 4.5 km from False Bay. The grape must was fermented spontaneously and the maturing wine was then treated as gently as possible to accentuate the expression of the terroir as much as possible. On the nose and palate, notes of pear, white peach and lemon dominate. The wine has a very balanced combination of rich texture and well-integrated acidity with a lasting finish with hints of fine spice and orange blossom.
