Graham Beck The Game Reserve Chenin Blanc 2014

Delightful aromas of sweet juicy melon, pear drop and fragrant grapefruit. On the palate expect rich rewarding flavours of ripe tropical fruit and luscious citrus. Aromatic, fruity and well rounded - an elegant wine with a soft silky texture and vibrant, fresh finish.

The Chenin is a good company for Alfresco lunches. Also great withgrilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.

The Riverine Rabbit
Both threatened and very rare, the riverine rabbit or 'doekvoet' (Bunolagus monticularis) is an intriguing mammal, currently classified as highly endangered. Originally thought to exist only in limited areas in the Karoo this elusive creature was discovered in the Graham Beck Private Nature Reserve - still the most southern point of discovery to date.

about the harvest: 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 up to the first week in March
2014 at 23° - 24° Balling.

in the cellar : Destalked, mash cooled with 4 - 8 hours skin contact and cool fermentation. A small percentage (7 %) of the Chenin Blanc was fermented in 2nd and 3rd fill 400 li French Oak barrels to generate an added dimension of richness.
