Momento Chenin Blanc Verdelho 2021 750ml

This Chenin Blanc-Verdelho blend is a harmonious dance of flavors. The Chenin Blanc, sourced from 41-year-old dryland bush vines in the Paardeberg, brings richness and generosity. The Verdelho, from both Voor-Paardeberg granite and Bot River shale, adds freshness, focus, and a mineral edge.

The wine offers aromas of forelle pear, kumquat, and greengage, with notes of white peach, Golden Delicious apple, and honey. The palate is balanced and tense, with a distinct ruby grapefruit skin savoriness and a long, pithy finish.

Grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented naturally in French oak barrels. The wine was aged on fine lees for 10 months, undergoing malolactic fermentation and bottled unfined.
