Rickety Bridge Paulina’s Reserve Chenin Blanc 2018
R204.00
Dominant peach and ripe pear aromas with notes of spicy oak. A rich mouth-filling wine with good structure and a long finish of dried fruit, white flowers and subtle minerality.
Decomposed granite soils host these low yielding 23-year-old vines that crop 8 tonnes / ha. Hand-picked into small baskets in the early morning at 22.8˚ Balling.
Fermented at 16˚C for a period of 30 days using naturally occurring yeasts. The wine was left on its primary lees for 6 months ensuring the full and creamy mouthfeel. 100% of the wine was barrel fermented and left to age for 10 months in a new oak Foudre and small French oak casks. No sulphur additions were made during or after fermentation, only at bottling.
Enjoy with crayfish, roast pork or liver pâte on toasted ciabatta.
