Johan Joubert Wines Granite Selection Chenin Blanc 2016
This “two barrel selection” wine was crafted from a small portion of
saprolite granite
soil from the Helderberg mountain range. The grapes
were from a 35-year-old bush vine
vineyard block. The grapes were
reductively crushed and given a 24 hour extended skin
contact period,
before settling. Halfway through cold-fermentation, at 12° balling, the
wine
was racked into Seguin Moreau Icon Burgundy barrels and spent, with
fermentation,
16 months on the lees before bottling.
