Purchase the brilliant, textured Miles Mossop The Introduction Chenin Blanc 750ml. This Chenin Blanc offers an accessible gateway to the celebrated style of Miles Mossop Wines. Grapes come from old, un-irrigated bush vines. Vineyards in Stellenbosch and the Swartland provide the fruit. This dual-region sourcing ensures fresh stone fruit and riper yellow fruit characters. The winemaker uses minimal intervention and no new wood. This retains the wine’s intrinsic varietal character.

Winemakers hand-pick the grapes at various ripeness levels. This ensures complexity. They whole-bunch press the fruit and settle it overnight. Natural yeasts ferment the wine over about three weeks. The wine matures for six months on the gross lees. This process builds a creamy mid-palate and pithy finish. The nose offers complex aromas of white floral, yellow peach, and citrus notes. The palate is marked by fresh yellow fruit on the entry. Hints of grapefruit and stone fruits are present. The complexity of the Miles Mossop The Introduction Chenin Blanc makes it an excellent food wine. It shows poised clarity and stunning freshness.
