Winemaker Bobby Wallace crafts Off The Record Chenin Blanc from a rare, boutique parcel of grapes in cool-climate Elgin, South Africa. The winemaking team ferments the fruit naturally before aging the wine in French oak barriques for ten months. Artisans make this unrefined, small-batch wine without added enzymes, commercial yeasts, or fining agents.
