Simonsig Chenin Blanc 2023

Taste Profile: A vibrant Chenin Blanc with a brilliant clear colour. A burst of tropical and stone fruit aromas ranging from passion fruit and melon to yellow flesh peach. A beautifully structured palate with layers of grapefruit, pear and tropical fruits. Lively acidity contributes freshness and length making this an exceptional summer wine. A true expression of Simonsig terroir.

Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc.

Serving Tips: Early drinking style, at its best within two years from vintage date. Beetroot and citrus salad with goat’s cheese, steamed mussels with a garlic cream sauce, whole chicken on the fire with root vegetables and, if all else fails, just on its own for pure enjoyment. Serve between 10-12°C

Winemaking: Grapes are handpicked, crushed and some lots are given overnight skin contact. Juice is cold settled to brilliant clarity and inoculated with selected yeast strains, well known for producing very fruity wines. Fermentation temperature is kept between 12-14°C to ensure a nice slow fermentation and optimal fruit flavour production.
