ageing : The wine drinks well right now and may age for many years.

about the harvest: Chenin Blanc was harvested at 22Âº Balling. The harvesting was done extremely gently into small lug boxes, and the grapes transported to a shed to where they were carefully laid out on racks to dry. Blowers were rigged up to keep the air circulating.

in the cellar : It takes about 4 weeks for the grapes to dry to a raisiny state. They are then pressed and allowed to ferment naturally. The fermentation can last up to 4 - 6 months.
