Manley Chenin Blanc 2021

Blend: 92% Chenin Blanc and 8% Viognier

VINTAGE

The winter prior to 2021 allowed good growth in the vineyards as the water table was reasonably filled. It gave the vineyards a chance to produce a nice canopy leading to phenolic ripe grapes. The 2021 vintage also offered us optimal sugars at the correct times.

CHARACTER PROFILE

On the nose the wine has a gooseberry, white peach skin and citrus character. On the palate this wine is very well structured giving you a slight tannin on the back palate but complemented by a beautiful floral elegance.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

This Chenin Blanc has been slightly aged in fourth and fifth filled barrels which went through bâtonnage at least twice a month. This has given the wine a bold character on the palate leaving you with a voluptuous creaminess on the side of your tongue.

The ageing capability of this wine is a further five years.
