Tasting notes
The Aristargos 2020 from David & Nadia Winery is primarily made from Chenin Blanc grapes. The grapes from the two Sémillon vineyards were fermented on the skins for one week before being pressed. Subsequently, the grapes aged for one year in a very old 2500-liter barrel.
The Colombard was also fermented on the skins (for 5 days) and aged in an old oak barrel. A portion of the Chenin Blanc was fermented and aged in a concrete egg. In total, grapes from 17 different vineyards, harvested on 23 different days, were used.
The Aristargos 2020 impresses many wine enthusiasts with its incredibly smooth mouthfeel, complemented by notes of fresh pear, subtle honey hints, and crisp pear.
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.
