Nederburg Private Collection Chenin Blanc 2017

Light gold with a greenish tinge. A fragrant, flowery bouquet with nuances of coconut, ripe apricots, orange peel, white stone fruit and fleshy peaches. An expressive, exciting and versatile wine with abundant fruit flavours and a creamy finish.

This wine’s abundant layering of flavours and refined structure render it an excellent wine to pair with food. Enjoy it with quail, duck, guinea fowl, rabbit, free-range chicken or even top-grade lamb and beef, prepared with spice, fruit and/or citrus seasoning.

Private Collection is an ultra-premium ensemble of five single varietal wines and a blend, produced from top-performing vineyards, and exclusive to travel retail. Our viticultural and winemaking teams work jointly to identify fruit in each vineyard for this luxury range. Hand-picked grapes that stand out for their fine balance of fruit, acid and sugar, for their exceptional concentration and depth of aromas are reserved for Private Collection wines.

Available: Travel retail exclusive
in the vineyard : The fruit was sourced from mostly dryland, trellised vineyards in Darling and Paarl. The Darling vines, established some 200m to 350m above sea level, grow in deep red decomposed granite (Oakleaf type) soils. The vineyard in Paarl is established in soils of sand and decomposed granite.
in the cellar : 

The grapes were harvested by hand at 22 to 24º Balling from mid-February to mid-March. The grapes were crushed and gently pressed to extract excellent quality juice. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for two weeks at 13 to 15º C. After fermentation, the wine was racked from the fermentation lees and the components from different areas blended together. The wine was then kept on the fine lees for 3 to 6 months before bottling. A small portion of the wine (10%) is oaked.
