Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
Ratings
Ich habe diesen Merlot aus dem Barrique mit Freunden bei einem Abendessen genossen und er hat alle begeistert! Der Wein ist vollmundig und kräftig, aber nicht zu schwer. Er hat eine schöne Fruchtigkeit und einen Hauch von Gewürzen, die ihm eine komplexe Note verleihen. Ein wirklich großartiger Wein!
Ich war begeistert von diesem Merlot aus dem Barrique. Der Wein hat einen reichen, vollmundigen Geschmack mit einem Hauch von Schokolade und Beeren. Die Tannine sind weich und seidig und der Abgang ist lang und angenehm. Ein wunderbarer Wein für besondere Anlässe!
Dieser Merlot aus dem Barrique ist einfach fantastisch! Er hat einen reichen, tiefen Geschmack, der von Vanille- und Eichennoten unterstrichen wird. Der Wein ist sehr gut ausbalanciert und hat eine angenehme Säure. Ich kann ihn nur empfehlen!
