Production Details The 1993 block of Chenin Blanc was picked in four batches at different degrees of ripeness. Pre-cooled fruit was destemmed and crushed. Light pressing took place and free run juice was settled overnight. Fermentation occurred in a combination of stainless steel tanks (85%) and old French oak barrels (15%) using an inoculated yeast strain. The barrels were racked and blended with the tank-fermented portion and then bottled. The final blend was made up after 11 months of ageing on the lees, followed by a light filtration before bottling.
