Case of Cavalli Reserve Chenin Blanc

The Chenin Blanc presents a pale yellow hue with a delicate nose of citrus blossoms, orange zest, ginger and yellow peach. On the palate it delivers a vibrant, zesty freshness featuring notes of grapefruit, wood spice and lemon leading to a crisp, linear finish.

We started harvest at first daylight for the 4 separate pickings. The pickings seperated the 4 different terroirs we have noticed in the vineyard. All the grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice allowed to settle of 2 days. According to the terroir we then innoculated with pure yeast strains to respect and develope the best flavour profile of that specific picking. All the batches were fermented in 225, 300 and 500L barrels. Total time on leese was 7 months. We are very happy with the results.
