Manley Private Cellar Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021

A straw-coloured wine that on the nose depicts characters of cedar wood, almond, and cashew nut with yellow peach and gooseberry fruit.

On the palate, the fruit profile is prominent with undertones of nuttiness and slight tobacco characters with very good structure, as this wine was aged for seven months in third-fill Swabian oak barrels.

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.
