Ondine Chenin Blanc 2009

Colour: Lime green colour.
Aroma: Fruit aromas of guava, white peach and ripe apple.
Flavour: Smooth palate full of fruit and well balanced acidity.
Finish: Balanced with a long finish.

General: Chenin Blanc is the grand old Dame of the South African wine industry. Always playing second fiddle to the more popular cultivars. This is an unwooded Chenin Blanc that was planted in ideal terroir, cool climate, high altitude and close proximity to the sea.

in the vineyard : Handpicked at 22.5°B, the grapes were cooled down to 18°C before draining the juice. The juice was settled for 48 hours or until the juice has a high clarity. By cold fermenting at 12°C we strive to achieve an elegant style with mineral undertones on the palete. The wine was then aged on the lees for three months before bottling. This creates a light, beautiful wine that one would find enticing on the palate.
