Manley Private Cellar Chenin Blanc 2021

On the nose, the wine has a gooseberry, white peach skin, and citrus character. On the palate, this wine is very well structured giving you a slight tannin on the back palate but complemented by a beautiful floral elegance.

This Chenin Blanc has been slightly aged in fourth and fifth-filled barrels which went through bâtonnage at least twice a month. This has given the wine a bold character on the palate leaving you with a voluptuous creaminess on the side of your tongue.

in the vineyard : The winter prior to 2021 allowed good growth in the vineyards as the water table was reasonably filled. It gave the vineyards a chance to produce a nice canopy leading to phenolic ripe grapes. The 2021 vintage also offered us optimal sugars at the correct times.
