Rijks Touch Chenin Blanc 2024

Freshly peeled apple aromas on the nose, with some hints of tangerine and lemon. The palate is layered with white pear and peaches. A well balanced wine with great finesse. The acidity is racy and the wine ends in a long and saline finish. The subtle use of oak helps to uplift the fruity characters of this versatile cultivar.

Recommended to be served at 13°C.

about the harvest: Grapes were night harvested; picked by hand to retain flavours.
in the cellar : Grapes were gently crushed and pressed. Wine was cold fermented to show freshness and fruit, but kept on the lees for 11 months to give the wine a creamy mouth-feel. 25% of barrel-fermented wine was blended with the tank-fermented portion (75%) to add a wooded dimension.
