Momento Chenin Blanc Verdelho 2023 750ml

This Chenin Blanc-Verdelho blend is a harmonious dance of flavors. The Chenin Blanc, sourced from four distinct vineyards, brings richness and generosity. The Verdelho, from two vineyards, adds freshness, focus, and a mineral edge. The combination of granite, sandstone, and shale soils contributes to the wine’s complexity.

The wine offers a delightful blend of tart fruits like greengage, loquat, and quince, along with the signature Swartland Chenin notes of hay and honey. A mealy, nutty mid-palate is balanced by fresh acidity and a citrus rind texture, providing a long, refreshing finish.

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