Tuart Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2022
Vineyard
The Maritime influences at The Tuarts Vineyard Carabooda, have contributed in producing a full flavoured but soft chenin blanc. The limestone based soils are a major contributing factor in producing wines of clean, fresh acidity on our vineyard which is entirely spur-pruned and hand harvested.
Harvest
Fruit for this wine was entirely hand-picked in the cool of the morning to ensure we captured the maximum fruit freshness of chenin blanc.
Winemaking
Fruit was crushed, de-stemmed and lightly pressed with only the finest free-run juice and minimal pressings used in the blend. Cold settled and fermented cool in stainless steel before blending and bottling, the wine spent 6 weeks on lees before fining which adds weight to the middle palate.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The bouquet exhibits lifted tropical fruit flavours with hints of citrus.
Palate
The generous round palate is enhanced by fresh natural acidity and a long clean finish.
Food
A perfect accompaniment to a warm summer afternoon, this wine is ideally suited to Mediterranean dishes, a traditional antipasto plate or grilled seafood/chicken.
Cellaring
This wine will develop further complexity in the medium term.
