Rijk’s CWG Chenin Blanc 2010
100% Chenin blanc The grapes were hand picked at night, 100% barrel fermented and matured for 12 months in 40% new and 60% 2nd fill French oak barrels. 50% of this wine was fermented with wild yeast. No malolactic fermentation took place. Tasting note: Light straw colour. Attractive peach and apricot aromas dominate the nose with hints of quince and apple strudel. These aromas are well supported by a nutty presence which originates from the use of quality oak. This wine has a full bodied palate with a lasting aftertaste. Drink now and until 2013.
