Tasting note False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc
Mineral aroma with elements of apricot, apple, fennel, anise, and melon. Ripe flavor of apple, pear, and lime; juicy, full, and creamy. Light yellow color with a green hue. The finish has great structure and length. Surprisingly good value for money!
Food Pairing
False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc is an excellent accompaniment to pasta, ricotta ravioli, asparagus, risotto, mackerel, lobster, or other shellfish and crustaceans.
Other information
“We all love good wine, but not always the price tag.” And that is why I am happy to offer this Slow Chenin Blanc from False Bay. Absolute top value for money.
The wines are produced at the Waterkloof Estate. In 2004, this magnificent wine estate was purchased by Paul Boutinot. Waterkloof is located on the Schaapenberg in Somerset West, Stellenbosch, South Africa, just three kilometers from the ocean. The vineyards for the Waterkloof wines are situated on the upper slopes of this estate, 300 meters above sea level. They are characterized by their mineral character and elegant style. The estate operates entirely biodynamically.
This Chenin Blanc is made from old vines that yield concentrated fruit. No yeast is added, which causes the fermentation to proceed slowly and gives the wine a complex character. Due to the organic method of working, the winemaker opts for a natural and wild fermentation. This results in a slower but finer fermentation process, yielding more elegant wines.
Waterkloof has an entire zoo working on the vines, and the green team consists of horses that are used instead of tractors for plowing, composting, spraying, and harvesting. Cattle provide manure for biodynamic preparations and compost. Sheep graze in the vineyards, eating weeds and enriching the soil with nitrogen and potassium from their manure. Chickens roam freely among the vines, eating weevils and laying fresh eggs for use in the luxury restaurant of this fully regenerative estate.
