Remhoogte Honeybunch Chenin Blanc 2023
R344.00
(R2,066.00 for 6 x 750ml)
Only the exposed bunches on the morning sun side of our 35 year old Chenin Blanc vineyard are selected for this wine, they turn gold in colour as a result of their exposure giving the wine a unique honeyed character. This wine is fermented with the wild/indigenous yeasts in older French oak barrels giving it an incredible complexity showing rich, honeyed fruit with a bright acidity leading into a delicious savoury finish.
Grapes harvested over 4 days. 12 to 15 hour maceration on the skins in the press before pressing. After an overnight settling the juice is then put into 225L and 300L French oak barrels and fermented wild. The wine is fermented cold, between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius which results in a lengthy fermentation that takes between 4 and 8 weeks. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation and 1 year maturation, on the heavy lees, in the same barrels before being racked and bottled
