in the vineyard : Two vineyard blocks were used in the making of Lanzerac Chenin Blanc 2016. Both blocks, J9 and J10, were planted in 2006 on alluvial soils and has north-south facing rows. The blocks cover an area of 4.7 ha and had a yield of 10.1 tons in 2016.
about the harvest: The 2016 harvest was particularly early and dry, resulting in Chenin Blanc grapes being harvested already by the end of January.
in the cellar : The grapes were picked at 22.5 - 23° Balling and hand sorted before being destemmed and crushed. Before pressing the grapes, the mash was cooled to 15°C, and after pressing left to settle in stainless steel tanks for 2 days. The clear juice was drawn off the lees and inoculated with a commercial yeast strain. The biggest component of the Chenin Blanc was fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve pure fruit and freshness while 22% was fermented in 4th fill French Oak barrels. After 3 months the wine was blended, stabilized and filtered before bottling.
