We are creating the best environment for the Chenin to ripen. A real hands-on job! We riddled the golden bunches from the North facing side of the vines and hand-picked these. After a cold settle, we foot stamped the bunches, followed by a whole bunch press. The wild alcoholic fermentation took place in barrel and puncheon, and we kept the wine in those barrels for a malolactic fermentation with a total maturation of 10 months.
