Tasting note
Distinctive, complex and structurally demanding. The bouquet mixes brioche, quince and pear. Creamy density and fullness on the palate, silky texture, sophisticated. The acid structure creates harmony and wonderfully complements the caramel, honey and panna cotta notes. The wood is perfectly balanced. Powerful and amazing, complex and a bit independent.
Culinary recommendation
Try this wine with a canned duck with oranges or sous vide cooked salmon with baby spinach and a blue potato mousseline.
Vinification
The grapes for Stellenrust 60 Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc come from 60-year-old Chenin Blanc vines that grow on the hills of the Bottelary Hills, which are part of South Africa's oldest wine route. The juice of the grapes was allowed to rest for several days without the addition of enzymes. The juice was then transferred to a special selection of barrels and left to ferment naturally. The fermentation lasted for 8 months, after which the wine was left in the cellar for another month. The wine aged in oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% Hungarian oak) for 9 months.
