Production Details This wine is made with grapes from two Chenin Blanc vineyards on the Dornier farm. Each batch was individually fermented in a combination of stainless steel and older barrels for approximately 14 days at low temperatures. Flavour and style specific yeast were used in order to obtain the desired fruit- and aroma characteristics. After fermentation, the wine was left on the full lees for six months. Lees stirring was performed weekly to improve the fullness and texture of the wine.
