Beaumont Family Wines ‘Moerse Moer’ Chenin Blanc 2015
Since 2010 I have been bulk filtering the solids of my Chenin juice. This is the 2015 version. I always found fascinating herbal, acidic gritty flavours in these solids. So with the help of a bulk filter I cleaned up this juice and then fermented it in barrel for about seven months. Occasionally winemaking experiments produce something amazing. I love the Afrikaans description for when something is amazing it’s, “Moerse”! This was a “moerse lekker” portion of lees (also known as “moer” in Afrikaans).
