Graham Beck The Game Reserve Chenin Blanc 2010

Complex nose shows upfront tropical fruit, ripe pineapple, melon, peaches and honey flavours, lifted by a citrus element. Full and juicy palate with layers of ripe tropical fruit complemented by a long, clean, crisp and gripping aftertaste.

Good company for Alfresco lunches. Also great with grilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.

The grapes were left to ripen fully to ensure the development of the rich and ripe flavours and complexity. Harvested during the last two weeks in February 2010 at 23° - 25° Balling.

in the cellar : Destalked, mash cooled with 8 - 12 hours skin contact and cool fermentation. A small percentage (5 - 10%) of the Chenin Blanc was fermented in French Oak barrels to generate an added dimension of richness.
