Stellenrust Chenin Blanc 2007

Name: Stellenrust Chenin Blanc 2007
Brand: Stellenrust
SKU: 17151

A delicate crisp white combining fresh citric fruits on a sweet guava mouthfeel. Made from some of the oldest Chenin Blanc vines still under production in Stellenbosch - 42 years old. This is all natural sweetness, but gives the wine nice depth. On the nose you can still pick up the old vines (this year ageing 43 years) it gives a distinct creaminess to the wine and then of course also the lemon/lime and apple flavours AND don't forget the grapefruit zest.
