Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2024

Separate parcels were picked by hand at different levels of ripeness in order to ensure there was a good complexity and balance of acidity, fruit and minerality. Each parcel contributes something different to the whole and this gives us a range of options when considering the blend. Cool fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with natural yeast (favouring fruit enhancement). The juice was kept on lees for 4 months, with occasional battonnage to enhance palate weight and texture of the wine. Blended prior to bottling, whilst still on the lees, to allow total integration of the final wine before preparing for bottling. Minimal fining prior to filtration was maintained throughout.

A wonderfully lively, intense, fruity and beautifully balanced dry Chenin Blanc. Aromas of lemon, stone fruit, honeysuckle and hints of almonds on the nose. Zippy acidity and a clean juicy finish. It shows great persistence of flavour and freshness that lingers on the palate long after the wine has gone.
